    摘要: A Radio Base Station (101; 601) for a radio telecommunications network (100) comprising a Radio Unit (103) configured to transmit and receive radio telecommunication signals and a switch unit (104). The Radio Base Station further comprises a local Digital Unit (105) configured to process digital baseband signals received from the Radio Unit (103) and generate digital baseband signals sent to the Radio Unit (103). The Radio Base Station further comprises an external communications interface (112) configured to connect at least one remote Digital Unit (106, 107) to the Radio Unit (103) of the Radio Base Station. The switch unit(104) is configured to selectively connect the Radio Unit (103) with the local Digital Unit (105) or the external communications interface (112).

    摘要: A radio over fibre system (5) comprises a base station (10, 20) with a first base station node (10) and a second base station node (20) connected by an optical communication link (30). At least one of the base station nodes (10, 20) comprises an optical transmitter (17, 23). A method of determining an operating parameter for the optical transmitter (17, 23) comprises receiving signal quality parameters for a plurality of user equipments (UE) served by the base station (10, 20). The method determines an operating parameter of the optical transmitter using the determined signal quality parameters of the plurality of user equipments (UE). The operating parameter of the optical transmitter can be a modulation parameter.

    摘要: A method of operation of a communications network comprises receiving a plurality of dynamic radio traffic requests from wireless communications nodes. The traffic requests comprise requests for backhaul traffic received from radio base stations, and requests for fronthaul traffic to digital units received from remote radio units. The radio traffic requests are translated into corresponding transport layer requirements. Transport network resources are requested for the radio traffic based on the transport layer requirements, which meet the radio traffic requests.

    摘要: A radio network comprises a plurality of service areas (11, 12). A method of controlling operation of a radio network (10), comprises receiving a first input (81) relating to a transport system (30), the transport system (30) providing for at least one vehicle (40). The radio network comprises a plurality of service areas (11, 12). The first input is indicative of a position of the vehicle (40) in the transport system (30). The method further comprises determining, on the basis of the first input (81) and data which is indicative of the plurality of service areas (11, 12), which of the service areas (11, 12) will next serve one or more radio terminals associated with the vehicle (40). The method further comprises outputting a control signal (83) for use in controlling operation of the radio network (10) based on the determination of which of the service areas (11, 12) will next serve the one or more radio terminals associated with the vehicle (40).
