Methods providing wireless communications using radio stripes and related controllers and systems

A wireless communication system comprising:

• a radio stripe including a plurality of Antenna Processing Units, APUs, distributed along the radio stripe and a bus coupled with the plurality of APUs along the radio stripe;
• and
• a controller coupled with the plurality of APUs of the radio stripe using the bus, wherein the controller is configured to,
• provide access to a plurality of APU activation/deactivation states for a respective plurality of environmental conditions, wherein each one of the plurality of APU activation/deactivation states defines APUs of the plurality of APUs that are activated and APUs of the plurality of APUs that are deactivated for the respective one of the plurality of environmental conditions, and
• apply a first one of the plurality of APU activation/deactivation states corresponding to a first one of the plurality of environmental conditions to activate a first subset of the APUs and to deactivate a second subset of the APUs responsive to detecting the first one of the plurality of environmental conditions, wherein the first and second subsets of APUs are mutually exclusive.
