Abstract: One embodiment is directed to a system in which an end node and a boundary link optimizer node are communicatively coupled to an ETHERNET network. The end node is communicatively coupled to the ETHERNET network using a boundary link that is connected to an edge of the ETHERNET network. A virtual local area network (VLAN) is established in the ETHERNET network that includes a first end point at the edge of the ETHERNET network and a second end point at the boundary link optimizer node. The boundary link optimizer node is configured to: receive ETHERNET packets that include data for the plurality of streams of digital samples; extract the data for the plurality of streams from the received ETHERNET packets; bundle the data for the streams of digital samples; and communicate, to the end node over the VLAN, the bundled data for the streams of digital samples in ETHERNET packets.

Abstract: A radio base station has a baseband unit (BB) and multiple RF heads (RH1, RH2), which are interconnected by means of a bi-directional two-fiber optical ring (R). Each RF head (RH1, RH2) has a delay counter (31) for determining a propagation delay (tL) on the ring (R) and a variable delay circuit (16, 26) for compensating a difference between the propagation delay on the ring and a predefined target delay (tRR). The delay counter counts (31) the delay between a test signal sent on the first fiber (F1) of the ring to the baseband unit and a received test signal looped back by the baseband unit on the second fiber (F2) of the ring.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of using a frequency spectrum of a time division duplex (TDD) radio system. Such systems encounter interferences when servicing users with frequencies at the edges of the used frequency spectrum. These interference signals stem from users of other TDD systems being serviced in adjacent frequencies, whereby the other TDD system is not synchronized with the own TDD systems. It is suggested to use an upper guard band 6 and a lower guardband 7 at the edges of the used frequency spectrum F1 to avoid this problem. If interferences are reduced with other measures the guardbands can be reused for a backhauling between the base stations and their core network minimizing hardware requirements for the last mile.
