Base station modulator/demodulator and send/receive method
First Claim
1. A base station in a mobile communication network, comprising:
- a receive component to receive, from a higher rank station in the network, a particular data unit that includes a plurality of data units multiplexed together as the particular data unit, a first portion of the particular data unit being destined for the base station and a second portion of the particular data unit being destined for another base station in the network;
a first processor to;
receive the particular data unit from the receive component,determine that the first portion of the particular data unit is destined for the base station and that the second portion of the particular data unit is not destined for the base station, anddiscard the second portion of the particular data unit; and
a second processor to;
receive the particular data unit from the receive component,determine that the second portion of the particular data unit is destined for the other base station and that the first portion of the particular data unit is not destined for the other base station, andsend the second portion of the particular data unit, and not the first portion of the particular data unit, to the other base station.

Abstract
A base station, in a mobile communication network, includes a receive component to receive, from a higher rank station in the network, a particular data unit that includes multiple data units multiplexed together; a master processor to determine that the first portion of the particular data unit is destined for the base station and that the second portion of the particular data unit is not destined for the base station, and discard the second portion of the particular data unit; and a slave processor to determine that the second portion of the particular data unit is destined for the other base station and that the first portion of the particular data unit is not destined for the other base station, and send the second portion of the particular data unit to the other base station.

10. A method performed by a base station in a mobile communication network, the method comprising:
-
receiving, from a higher rank station in the network, a particular data unit that includes a plurality of data units multiplexed together as the particular data unit, a first portion of the particular data unit being destined for the base station and a second portion of the particular data unit being destined for another base station in the network; sending the particular data unit to both a first processor and a second processor; determining, by the first processor, that the first portion of the particular data unit is destined for the base station and that the second portion of the particular data unit is not destined for the base station; determining, by the second processor, that the second portion of the particular data unit is destined for the other base station and that the first portion of the particular data unit is not destined for the other base station; identifying, by the first processor, the first portion of the particular data unit for processing by the base station; and sending, by the second processor, the second portion of the particular data unit to the other base station, without sending the first portion of the particular data unit to the other base station. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A base station in a mobile communication network, comprising:
-
means for receiving, from a higher rank station in the network, a particular data unit that includes a plurality of data units multiplexed together as the particular data unit; means for determining that a first portion of the particular data unit is destined for the base station when a first virtual path identifier in a first header of the particular data unit has a first value that matches a value preset for the base station, and that a second portion of the particular data unit is not destined for the base station when a second virtual path identifier in a second header of the particular data unit has a second value that does not match the value preset for the base station; means for determining that the second portion of the particular data unit is destined for another base station when the second virtual path identifier in the second header of the particular data unit has the second value that matches a value preset for the other base station, and that the first portion of the particular data unit is not destined for the other base station when the first virtual path identifier in the first header of the particular data unit has the first value that does not match the value preset for the other base station; means for processing the first portion of the particular data unit; and means for sending the second portion of the particular data unit to the other base station, without sending the first portion of the particular data unit to the other base station.
