Abstract: A method of providing an antenna mast for a wireless communication system is presented. The method comprises selecting a lower module and an upper module from a set of modules. This set of modules comprises at least two different lower modules, at least two different upper modules, or at least two different lower modules and at least two different upper modules. The method further comprises assembling the selected lower module and the selected upper module into a mast body of the antenna mast. This mast body forms a supporting structure for an antenna arrangement of the wireless communication system. In assembling the mast body, the method includes the antenna arrangement in the selected upper module and includes in at least one of the selected lower module and the selected upper module a device configured to perform a function other than supporting the antenna arrangement.

Abstract: An antenna mast for a wireless communication system is provided. The antenna mast comprises a mast body that is configured to form a supporting structure for an antenna arrangement of the wireless communication system at an elevated position on the antenna mast. The mast body is also configured to house therein a transceiver arrangement and a processor adapted to perform random user-related communication operations in a cell of the wireless communication system, the cell comprising the antenna arrangement, the transceiver arrangement, and the processor. The mast body is further configured to house at least part of a device to be utilized for a function other than supporting the antenna arrangement. The device comprises a communication interface for establishing a connection with the wireless communication system. A method of providing a further function in an antenna mast for a wireless communication system is also provided.
