Abstract
Various embodiments comprise systems, methods, architectures, mechanisms and apparatus for spatially combining a plurality of 5G new radio (NR) carrier signals or channels for transport via a common frequency channel through a hybrid fiber coax (HFC) or other communications medium link or network. To overcome a loss of receiver ability to discriminate/process individual spatial components, each baseband signal and/or carrier signal including a spatial component has imparted to it a respective channel component Øn configured to modify amplitude, phase shift, and/or time delay of the baseband signal and/or carrier signal such that multiple spatial component bearing signals stacked/combined within a HFC frequency channel or slot include channel characteristics sufficiently distinct so as to enable a receiver to identify, discriminate, and otherwise process desired spatial components.
