Abstract: An example system-on-chip (SoC) device for a communication system includes a peripheral component interconnect express (PCIe) interface configured to receive data from a backhaul field programmable gate array (FPGA) of the communication system, and a producer port linked with a consumer port through direct memory access (DMA). Data received by the PCIe interface is assigned to the producer port. The device includes dual hardware media access controls (MACs) configured to consume the data assigned to the producer port, and at least one processor configured to supply the data to a wireless interface for transmission to another wireless communication device of the communication system at a frequency of at least sixty Gigahertz.

Abstract: A communication system includes a first communication cable coupled with a first peer node of a data network, a first wireless host device including a first wireless interface and a second wireless interface, a first adapter coupled between the first wireless host device and an end point of the first communication cable, a second communication cable coupled with a second peer node of the data network, and a second wireless host device including a third wireless interface and a fourth wireless interface. The third wireless interface is configured to communicate with the first wireless interface via a first wireless communication channel, and the fourth wireless interface is configured to communicate with the second wireless interface via a second wireless communication channel. A second adapter is coupled between the second wireless host device and the second communication cable.

Abstract: An example communication system includes a distributed unit of a fronthaul communication system architecture, wherein the distributed unit is in communication with a core network of the communication system, a radio unit of the fronthaul communication system architecture, wherein the radio unit is electrically coupled with at least one cellular antenna, and the radio unit is configured to transmit and receive wireless cellular signals, and a wireless communication link between the distributed unit and the radio unit. The wireless communication link includes a first system-on-chip (SoC) device electrically coupled with the radio unit, and a second SoC device electrically coupled with the distributed unit, wherein the first SoC device and the second SoC device are configured to wirelessly transmit communication signals between the radio unit and the distributed unit at a frequency of at least sixty Gigahertz.
