Abstract

A bridge may include a donor bridge node and one or more service bridge nodes. The donor bridge node may be configured to connect to a base station pooling location comprising a plurality of cell signals, determine for each cell signal a service link carrier frequency in a service link frequency band and a bridge link carrier frequency in a bridge link frequency band, associate each cell signal and the determined carrier frequencies in the service link frequency band and in the bridge link frequency band with the one or more service bridge nodes, and communicate each cell signal at the bridge link carrier frequency of the cell signal. The service bridge nodes may communicate with the donor bridge node at the carrier frequency of the bridge link frequency band and with user equipment in the service link carrier frequency band of the service link frequency band.
