1. A method of efficiently transmitting information over a wireless network segment, the method comprising:
- separating, via a transmitter, digital fronthaul data into general information and radio signal information, wherein the radio signal information is a representation of a signal in an analog format and the general information is in a digital format;
transmitting the general information in a digital format over the wireless network segment from the transmitter to a receiver on a first communications channel; and
transmitting the radio signal information in an analog format over the wireless network segment from the transmitter to the receiver on a second communications channel.
