Abstract
Disclosed is a method and system for sharing a remote radio head (RRH) between multiple cell sites. An RRH is be coupled with at least two separately located cell sites, so as to interface concurrently between one such cell site and a baseband unit and between the other such cell site and the baseband unit. Further, a baseband unit may thus also serve the multiple cell sites, by being coupled with the RRH that serves the multiple cell sites.
