Remote Radio Unit with Adaptive Fronthaul Link for a Distributed Radio Access Network
A distributed radio frequency communication system facilitates communication between a wireless terminal and a core network. The system includes a remote radio unit (RRU) coupled to at least one antenna to communicate with the wireless terminal. The RRU includes electronic circuitry to perform at least a first portion of a first-level protocol of a radio access network (RAN) for communicating between the wireless terminal and the core network. The system also includes a baseband unit (BBU) coupled to the core network, and configured to perform at least a second-level protocol of the RAN. A fronthaul link is coupled to the BBU and the RRU. The fronthaul link utilizes an adaptive fronthaul protocol for communication between the BBU and the RRU. The adaptive fronthaul protocol has provisions for adapting to conditions of the fronthaul link and radio network by changing the way data is communicated over the fronthaul link.
Wide bandwidth digital pre-distortion (DPD) in a remote unit(s) for a wireless communications system (WCS)
Wide bandwidth digital pre-distortion (DPD) in a remote unit(s) for a wireless communications system (WCS) is disclosed. In embodiments disclosed herein, a remote unit(s) includes at least two transceiver circuits, each configured to process (e.g., perform DPD) a respective downlink digital communications signal corresponding to a portion of the carrier bandwidth. Each of the transceiver circuits is further configured to convert the respective downlink digital communications signal into a respective downlink RF communications signal. The respective downlink RF communications signals generated by the transceiver circuits are subsequently combined to form a downlink RF communications signal(s) associated with the carrier bandwidth. By employing multiple transceiver circuits in the remote unit(s) to each handle a portion of the carrier bandwidth, it may be possible to mitigate processing bandwidth limitations of the remote unit(s), thus making it possible to satisfy the regulatory and/or operational requirements for supporting wide bandwidth communications in the WCS.

Distortion compensation apparatus and distortion compensation method
A distortion compensation apparatus includes a retention unit that retains a coefficient for distortion compensation for each of a plurality of time segments of a burst signal that keeps a constant power level, and a distortion compensation unit that, by using a coefficient for a time segment that corresponds to elapsed time from a head of the burst signal among the coefficients retained by the retention unit, executes distortion compensation for the time segment.
