Cloud communication center system and method for processing data in a cloud communication system
First Claim
1. An apparatus for supporting a cloud communication system, the apparatus comprising:
- at least one remote unit configured to process at least one of a radio signal received from a user equipment and a radio signal to be transmitted to the user equipment according to at least one sub-layer of an open system interconnection reference model; and
a centralized unit configured to receive a processed signal from the at least one remote unit and to process the received processed signal based on remaining sub-layers of the open system interconnection reference model,wherein the at least one remote unit comprises;
a radio unit configured to control transmission and reception of radio signals to and from the user equipment; and
an L1 function unit configured to process at least one of the radio signal to be transmitted to the user equipment and the radio signal to be received from the user equipment, according to an L1 layer of the open system interconnection reference model.

Abstract
Cloud communication center system and method for processing data in a cloud communication system. An apparatus for supporting a cloud communication system may include at least one remote unit and a centralized unit. The at least one remote unit may be configured to process one of radio signals received from a user equipment or radio signals to be transmitted to a user equipment according to at least one sub-layer of an open system interconnection reference model. The centralized unit may be configured to receive the processed signal from the remote unit and to process the received signal based on the remaining sub-layers of the open system interconnection reference model.
