REMOTE RADIO HEADS HAVING WIRELESS JUMPER CONNECTIONS AND RELATED EQUIPMENT, SYSTEMS AND METHODS
First Claim
1. A method of operating a cellular radio that is remote from an associated baseband unit, the method comprising:
- transmitting a first power supply signal from a power supply to a wireless power unit at least in part over a power cable;
wirelessly transmitting a second power supply signal from the wireless power unit to the cellular radio to power the cellular radio;
transmitting data from the associated baseband unit to a wireless transceiver at least in part over a data cable;
wirelessly transmitting the data from the wireless transceiver to the cellular radio; and
transmitting the data through an antenna that is coupled to the cellular radio.

Abstract
Methods of operating a cellular radio are provided in which a first power supply signal is transmitted from a power supply to a wireless power unit at least in part over a power cable. A second power supply signal is wirelessly transmitted from the wireless power unit to the cellular radio to power the cellular radio. Data is transmitted from a baseband unit that is associated with the cellular radio to a wireless transceiver at least in part over a data cable. This data is wirelessly transmitted from the wireless transceiver to the cellular radio. The data is then transmitted through an antenna that is coupled to the cellular radio.
