Abstract

This application provides an example base station for an example wireless communication network and an example method. One example base station includes a central unit and a remote radio unit (RRU). The RRU includes one or more antennas. The RRU is coupled to the central unit via one or more optical transmission fibers. Each optical transmission fiber defines a respective downlink transmission channel for transmitting a respective downlink transmission signal from the central unit to the respective antenna of the RRU. The RRU is configured to provide a respective uplink feedback signal based on the respective downlink transmission signal via an uplink feedback channel to the central unit.
