ABSTRACT:
A main-remote radio base station system includes plural remote radio units. Fiber costs are significantly reduced using a single optical fiber that communicates information between the main unit and the remote units connected in a series configuration. Information from the main unit is sent over a first fiber path to the remote units so that the same information is transmitted over the radio interface by the remote units at substantially the same time. The main unit receives the same information from each of the remote units over a second fiber path at substantially the same time. Delay associated with each remote unit is compensated for by advancing a time when information is sent to each remote unit. A data distribution approach over a single fiber avoids the expense of separate fiber couplings between the main unit and each RRU. That approach also avoids the expense of WDM technology including lasers, filters, and OADMs as well as the logistical overhead needed to keep track of different wavelength dependent devices.
