Abstract
A mechanism for providing a wireless backhaul connection between a remote base transceiver station (BTS) and core radio access network (RAN) equipment such as a base station controller (BSC) for instance. The remote BTS will be provided with wireless server logic, such as a cell site modem (CSM), the RAN equipment will be provided with wireless client logic, such as a mobile station modem (MSM), and the wireless server logic of the remote BTS will be arranged to serve the wireless client logic of the RAN equipment with a packet-data connection for use to carry backhaul communications between the remote BTS and the RAN equipment. Advantageously, limited air interface resources of the core RAN equipment can thus be preserved for directly serving wireless client devices, as limited air interface resources of the wireless client logic at the remote BTS are instead (or in addition) allocated for the backhaul communication.
