Abstract
A wireless access point device wirelessly communicates with a plurality of wireless client devices. The wireless access point includes a central processor subsystem and a plurality of transceiver devices each including a plurality of antennas, and a plurality of radio transceivers, each of the plurality of transceiver devices configured for deployment throughout a coverage area, each transceiver device being connected to the central processor subsystem via a respective cable. The central processor subsystem distributes in-phase and quadrature baseband samples across the plurality of transceiver devices associated with traffic to be transmitted and received via the plurality of transceiver devices in one or more frequency bands so as to synthesize a wideband multiple-input multiple-output transmission channel and a wideband multiple-input multiple-output reception channel. The access point transmit and receive functions are “split” or partitioned across the plurality of transceivers devices.
