Abstract
A base transceiver station (BTS) in a cellular communication system having a base station controller (BSC) and a mobile services switching center (MSC). The BSC is configured for facilitating communication between the BSC and a plurality of mobile stations (MS's). The communication with the plurality of the MS's is accomplished via radio frequency (RF) medium. The BTS includes a first interface circuit for coupling the BTS with the BSC. The BTS further includes a processor coupled to the first interface circuit for processing first digital data received from the BSC to form second digital data. There is further included a first central transceiver (CTRX) circuit coupled to the processor. The first CTRX circuit is co-resident with the processor and the first interface circuit. The BTS further includes a first remote transceiver (RTRX) circuit coupled to the first CTRX circuit. The first RTRX circuit includes a first antenna circuit for communicating with a first MS of the plurality of MS's via the RF medium, wherein the first RTRX circuit is implemented in a geographically remote manner from the first CTRX circuit.
