Radio interface unit and method of controlling multiple/single mode thereof in wireless local loop network system

Abstract

A modulator-demodulator (modem) used in radio interface unit (RIU) is modeled as master and slave, respectively, so as to allow a rapid handling of service, a stabilized system, and an efficient utilization of wireless systems. The RIU in wireless local loop network system, in which the RIU has a subscriber interface module for interface with subscriber terminal and data, a high frequency processing module for transmitting/receiving radio data to/from a radio port via an antenna, and a modem for converting and interfacing data between the subscriber interface module and the high frequency module, includes: a modem unit having a master modem which performs an automatic frequency control function for a direct control of a high frequency, power control function, and automatic gain control function, and is provided with a pilot channel, power control channel, and signaling channel only when the master modem operates as a primary one, and a plurality of slave modems which have pilot, power control and signaling channels and receive power control and signaling channels only when the slave modems operate as a primary one, and which receive only the power control and signaling channels when they operate as a secondary one; and a control module for controlling transmitting/receiving state of the modem unit and state of the subscriber interface module.
