Aggregated Touchless Wireless Fronthaul

A method for wireless channel signals processing, comprising:

• receiving over a single optical fiber link an optical signal carrying an aggregated signal comprising a plurality of wireless channel signals;
• converting the optical signal into an analog electric signal, wherein the plurality of wireless channel signals are positioned in different non-overlapping frequency bands that span respective channel bandwidths (BWs), wherein a first channel BW of the respective channel BWs is different from a second channel BW of the respective channel BWs;
• converting the analog electric signal into a digital signal;
• and
• extracting the plurality of wireless channel signals from the digital signal to produce the plurality of wireless channel signals that comprise the same BWs as the respective channel BWs.

An apparatus comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a non-transitory computer readable storage medium coupled to the processor and storing programming for execution by the processor, the programming including instructions to:
• receive a plurality of wireless channel signals for different wireless channels, wherein the plurality of wireless channel signals comprise respective channel bandwidths (BWs), wherein a first channel BW of the respective channel BWs is different from a second channel BW of the respective channel BWs;
• aggregate the plurality of wireless channel signals to produce an aggregated signal in which the plurality of wireless channel signals are positioned in different non-overlapping frequency bands and each of the plurality of wireless channel signals maintain the same channel BWs as the respective channel BWs.
