Multi-cell coordination system and method

Abstract

A multi-cell coordination system and method are provided in the disclosure. The multi-cell coordination system includes a plurality of Radio Frequency Nodes (RFNs) and a Baseband Processing Node (BPN). Each of the RFNs includes a baseband circuit, a radio frequency (RF) circuit, and a plurality of transmission ports. The RF circuit is electrically connected to the baseband circuit and to one or more antennas. The transmission ports of each RFN are configured to transmit data to the other RFNs and to receive data provided by the other RFNs. The BPN centralizes and performs layer 2 and layer 3 functions of each cell.
