Redundant Wireless Base Station
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- defining a first baseband processing unit as an active baseband processing unit and a second baseband processing unit as a standby baseband processing unit;
associating an active address with the first baseband processing unit and associating a standby address with the second baseband processing unit;
routing subscriber traffic to the first baseband processing unit via the active address; and
if the second baseband processing unit becomes an active baseband processing unit and the first baseband processing unit becomes a standby baseband processing unit, associating the active address with the second baseband processing unit and associating the standby address with the first baseband processing unit, and routing subscriber traffic to the second baseband processing unit via the active address.

Abstract
In a redundant wireless network, a first baseband processing unit is defined as an active baseband processing unit and a second baseband processing unit as a standby baseband processing unit. An active address is associated with the first baseband processing unit and a standby address is associated with the second baseband processing unit. Subscriber traffic is routed to the first baseband processing unit via the active address. If the second baseband processing unit becomes an active baseband processing unit and the first baseband processing unit becomes a standby baseband processing unit, he active address is associated with the second baseband processing unit, and the standby address is associated with the first baseband processing unit. Subscriber traffic is routed to the second baseband processing unit via the active address.
