Abstract
The present invention relates to a base station of a radio system. The base station has means for establishing a telecommunication connection to radio units in a coverage area of the base station. In order to utilize a capacity of the base station efficiently, the base station comprises a central processing unit with at least one baseband frame unit for supplying baseband signals via switching means, alternatively, to one of at least two radio channel units, and at least two radio set units arranged separately from one another of which at least one of the radio set units is arranged at a distance from the central processing unit. The radio set units are arranged into different radio set units for transferring baseband signals to be transmitted from the frame unit to a radio channel and for forwarding radio frequency signals via an antenna means of the radio set unit.
