Abstract
A system includes a baseband component, an optical transceiver component, a first pluggable radio frequency component, and a wireless head-end component. The baseband component is configured to provide a radio frequency signal to the first pluggable radio frequency component through the optical transceiver component. The optical transceiver component is connected to the first pluggable radio frequency component through an optical fiber. The first pluggable radio frequency component is connected to the wireless head-end component in a plugging manner.
Claims17
A system, comprising:
- a first baseband component configured to generate a radio frequency signal;
- an optical transceiver component configured to convert the radio frequency signal to an optical signal and transmit the optical signal over an optical fiber, wherein the first baseband component and the optical transceiver component are located in a same physical device or the optical transceiver component is connected, in a plugging manner, to a physical device to which the first baseband component belongs;
- a first pluggable radio frequency component connected to the optical transceiver component through the optical fiber;
- and
- a wireless head-end component, wherein the first baseband component is configured to provide a radio frequency signal to the first pluggable radio frequency component through the optical transceiver component, wherein the first pluggable radio frequency component is connected to the wireless head-end component in a plugging manner, and wherein the system is configured to be upgraded, in a first manner, by replacing the first pluggable radio frequency component with a second pluggable radio frequency component without replacing the first baseband component or the wireless head-end component.
A radio frequency component, comprising:
- an optical transceiver component comprising:
- an optical fiber connector;
- and
- an optical-to-electrical converter comprising at least one laser, at least one laser driver, and at least one detector, wherein the optical fiber connector is configured to connect the optical-to-electrical converter to an optical fiber to receive an optical signal through the optical fiber, and wherein the optical-to-electrical converter is configured to convert the optical signal to an electrical signal;
- and
- at least one radio frequency front-end module,
- wherein the radio frequency component is pluggable into a wireless head-end component of a system, wherein the system comprises a baseband component, and wherein the system is configured to be upgraded, in a first manner, by replacing the radio frequency component with another radio frequency component without replacing the baseband component or the wireless head-end component.
