Abstract
A system can comprise a radio unit comprising a digital front end chain. The system can further comprise a tap point disposed within the digital front end chain, wherein the tap point is configured to time align a signal at the tap point with a system time of the radio unit. The system can further comprise a first hardware component that is configured to selectively read the signal at the tap point to produce a read signal. The system can further comprise a second hardware component that is configured to store the read signal.
Claims20
A system, comprising:
- a radio unit comprising a digital front end chain;
- a tap point disposed within the digital front end chain, wherein the tap point is configured to time align a signal at the tap point with a system time of the radio unit;
- first hardware that is configured to selectively read the signal at the tap point to produce a read signal, wherein the read signal spans one or more time boundaries of the radio unit;
- and
- second hardware that is configured to store the read signal.
A method, comprising:
- identifying, by a system comprising at least one processor, a tap point disposed within a digital front end chain of a radio unit, wherein the tap point is configured to time align a signal at the tap point with a system time of the radio unit;
- selectively reading, by the system, a signal from the tap point to produce a read signal, wherein the read signal spans one or more time boundaries of the radio unit;
- and
- storing, by the system, the read signal.
An apparatus, comprising:
- a first hardware component that is configured to selectively read a signal from a tap point that is disposed within a digital front end chain of a radio unit to produce a read signal, wherein the signal is time aligned at the tap point on a system time of the radio unit, and wherein the read signal spans one or more time boundaries of the radio unit;
- and
- a second hardware component that is configured to store the read signal.
