Abstract
System and apparatus embodiments are provided for high capacity wireless communication. In an embodiment, a system for high capacity wireless communication includes a plurality of small radio unit modules (SRUMs) and a single central module (CM) configured to connect to the SRUMS over a high speed transport layer (TL), wherein the SRUMs each comprise a SRUM radio frequency (RF) element and an antenna, wherein the CM comprises a digital signal processor (DSP), an analog-to-digital (A/D) converter, a plurality of digital-to-analog (D/A) converters, and a plurality of CM RF elements, wherein each of the plurality of SRUMs is uniquely associated with a CM RF element, and a D/A converter thereby forming a radio unit (RU) that is configured to operate independently of other RUs.
