Abstract
A wideband digital architecture for use in radio communications systems. In an exemplary embodiment, a central hub station is coupled by high speed digital data transports to multiple distributed radio transceivers. The radio transceivers are designed to perform relatively little signal processing, while the central hub is designed to perform computationally intensive signal processing tasks. By exchanging wideband data between the radio transceivers and the hub, by centralizing key system resources at the hub, and by adaptively allocating the system resources in accordance with actual system usage, the radio architecture of the present invention maximizes overall system capacity, flexibility, and resource usage efficiency while minimizing the overall system cost.
