System and method for retransmission of data
First Claim
1. A method for communicating data information in a communication system, the method comprising:
- receiving a signal including data information representing a digitized version of a radio signal to be transmitted over a wireless link;
processing the data information to produce overhead bits supporting a serial transmission of the data information over a transport communication medium; and
framing the data information of the signal and overhead bits according to a transport protocol for transmission of the data information and overhead bits in a serial stream over the transport communication medium.

Abstract
A received RF signal can include data information intended for transmission over a wireless communication link. The data information of the signal can be processed at a node to produce overhead bits supporting a serial transmission of the data information over a communication medium to another node. For example, the data information of the received signal and overhead bits can be combined or framed according to a serial transport protocol for transmission over the communication medium. This technique of mapping or framing the data information into a serial transport protocol is used to more efficiently transmit the data over the communication medium to a target receiver, where the original RF signal can be reconstructed.

22. A system for communicating data information, the system comprising:
-
a hub to receive a signal from at least one base station, the signal including data information that is to be transmitted to a target by a remote antenna device;
a communication medium to couple the hub and the antenna device; and
a processor device disposed in the hub that decodes the signal to produce overhead bits supporting a serial transmission of the data information over the communication medium to the remote antenna device, the data information of the signal and corresponding overhead bits being framed according to a transport protocol for transmission in a serial stream over the communication medium to the remote antenna. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35)
