A wideband code division multiple access (CDMA) communication system overlayed on an IS-95 network generates two or more digital bit streams from a group of wideband digital data streams, each digital bit stream spread to form a CDMA component signal. Each CDMA component signal is combined with a corresponding IS-95 digital bit stream to form a composite CDMA signal, allowing a base station to share transmitter subsystems between the wideband and IS-95 systems. For up to three carrier frequencies, up to three composite CDMA signals are employed. A digital bit stream for a group of summed user conversations in the IS-95 system modulates a respective RF carrier frequency to generate a low-power RF signal. The CDMA component signals of the wideband CDMA system are generated so each has a chip rate identical to the chip rate of the digital bit streams of the IS-95 system. The baseband digital data streams for all wideband user conversations are summed digitally for each targeted RF carrier frequency to produce the composite wideband digital signal for each targeted frequency.

Disclosed is an interface and method for data transmission between digital and radio frequency (RF) components of a base station. The interface and method involves transmitting transmit or receive data over a first set of time slots and transmitting various uplink or downlink low rate static/control signals over a second set of time slots. The transmit data includes in-phase transmit data bits and quadrature phase transmit bits, and the receive data includes in-phase transmit data bits and quadrature phase transmit bits received over a diversity antenna system.

A system and method distributes wireless signals to areas remote from a base station by incorporating a backplane fiber card connected to a backplane in a base station and a radio fiber card connected to a radio. The backplane fiber card and the radio fiber card are connected together by one or more fiber links, which carry signals between the two fiber cards. The radio can therefore be placed at any location within the length of the fiber link, remote from the backplane. The backplane fiber card can be plugged into a radio card slot in the backplane. In one embodiment, the fiber cards have connectors that connect to standard backplane and radio structures, allowing the invention to be incorporated in existing systems without any modifications to the radio or the backplane itself.

The baseband unit includes a first Radio Frequency (RF) coverage unit, a second RF coverage unit, and an interface unit. The first RF coverage unit is configured to communicate with RF devices according to a first communication protocol. The second RF coverage unit is configured to communicate with the RF devices according to a second communication protocol different than the first communication protocol. Further, the interface unit is configured to selectively interface one of the first and second coverage units with the RF devices.

A single base station supports the non-diversity transmission of a first digital signal type and the diversity transmission of a second digital signal type. The base station includes primary channel boards for modulating and encoding a first digital signal type and secondary channel boards for modulating and encoding a second digital signal type. A first group of transmit radio modules accept the first digital signal type and the second digital signal type and provides a composite electromagnetic output signal. Each transmit radio module is associated with a different sector. A second group of transmit radio modules accept the second digital signal type from secondary channel boards and provide a diverse electromagnetic output signal for complementing the composite electromagnetic output signal.

A single unit with a backhaul interface and radio card able to support both metro cell outdoor (MCO) and metro radio outdoor (MRO) operations. The single unit includes a switch used to switch between these operational modes. The single unit is versatile from the standpoint that MCO or MRO operations may be selected at the time of installation, and this selection may be changed at any time while operating. The single unit configuration provides a low power MRO mode requiring up to 80% less power than the MCO mode, as the switching function of the single unit can power down all unused internal components and allow radio signals received at a backhaul interface to be exchanged directly with a radio card.
