Abstract
Example embodiments relate to a communication system including an antenna and a plurality of multi-band remote radio heads operationally coupled to the antenna. The remote radio heads are configured to support transmission and reception at two or more frequency bands. Example embodiments relate to a communication system including an antenna and a plurality of multi-band remote radio heads operationally coupled to the antenna, each multi-band remote radio head including a plurality of multi-band duplexers.
Claims20
A communication system, comprising:
- a multiport antenna including at least one antenna array and a housing, the at least one antenna array being in the housing;
- and
- a plurality of multi-band remote radio heads being coupled to different sets of ports of the antenna via a radio frequency (RF) interface and being mounted on the housing,
- each of the plurality of multi-band remote radio heads being configured to support transmission and reception at the same two or more frequency bands, and
- the system being able to function as a multiple input multiple output (MIMO) communication system using one of the plurality multi-band remote radio heads and being able to function as the MIMO communication system using the plurality of multi-band remote radio heads.
