Abstract: A base station includes a base unit and a plurality of remote antenna units (RAUs). Each of the RAUs includes a physical layer circuit (PHY). The PHYs are configured to each use the same physical layer identifier, but each PHY includes its own hardware for supporting users in the coverage area of that PHY. The base unit controls resource allocation for the RAUs to increase the capacity of the base station and/or reduce interference between PHYs.
