Abstract
A method of wireless communication includes receiving a plurality of first downlink signals at a first radio base station, where the plurality of first downlink signals each has a different frequency. The method further includes down-converting the plurality of first downlink signals to a plurality of second downlink signals, where the plurality of second downlink signals have a same frequency. The method also includes transmitting the plurality of second downlink signals to associated user equipments (UEs).
Claims23
A method of wireless communication, comprising:
- receiving a plurality of first downlink signals at a first radio base station, wherein the plurality of first downlink signals each has a different frequency;
- down-converting the plurality of first downlink signals to a plurality of second downlink signals, wherein the plurality of second downlink signals having a same frequency;
- transmitting the plurality of second downlink signals to associated user equipments (UEs);
- receiving at the first radio base station a primary synchronization signal (PSS) and secondary synchronization signal (SSS) from the first downlink signals;
- and
- synchronizing a time division duplex (TDD) timing of the first radio base station with a TDD timing of a second radio base station using the PSS and SSS.
A method of wireless communication, comprising:
- receiving a plurality of first uplink signals at a first radio base station, wherein the plurality of first uplink signals having a same frequency;
- up-converting the plurality of first uplink signals to a plurality of second uplink signals, wherein the plurality of second uplink signals each has a different frequency;
- transmitting the plurality of second uplink signals to a second base station;
- receiving at the first radio base station a primary synchronization signal (PSS) and a secondary synchronization signal (SSS);
- and
