Abstract
In one example embodiment, a communication system includes a remote unit configured to convert a plurality of signals, received at the remote unit from a plurality of end devices, into a plurality of first digital signals regardless of a bandwidth occupied by any of the plurality of signals. The communication system further includes a central unit configured to generate a plurality of second digital signals by processing the plurality of first digital signals received from the remote unit and transmit the plurality of second digital signals back to the remote unit, to be transmitted to the plurality of end devices.
Claims20
A communication system, comprising:
- a remote unit configured to convert a plurality of signals, received at the remote unit from a plurality of end devices, into a plurality of first digital signals regardless of a bandwidth occupied by any of the plurality of signals;
- and
- a central unit configured to,
- generate a plurality of second digital signals by processing the plurality of first digital signals received from the remote unit, and
- transmit the plurality of second digital signals back to the remote unit, to be transmitted to the plurality of end devices.
A remote unit configured to,
- convert a plurality of signals received at the remote unit into a plurality of first digital signals, regardless of a bandwidth occupied by any of the plurality of signals;
- transmit the plurality of first digital signals to a central unit;
