Wireless network system and method
First Claim
1. A system for wireless communication comprising:
- a first radio frequency and digital signal processing (“
RAD”
) unit;
a second RAD unit;
a plurality of antennas;
a radio frequency (“
RF”
) backplane connecting the plurality of antennas to the first RAD and the second RAD units; and
a network fuser connected to the first RAD and the second RAD unit, wherein the network fuser is operable to;
provide DSP configuration information to the first RAD unit and the second RAD unit;
provide RF configuration information the first RAD unit and the second RAD unit; and
provide control signals to the RF backplane to configure the RF backplane to connect the plurality of antennas to the first RAD unit and the second RAD unit.

Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention provide a flexible system for providing wireless broadband access. The system can include a gateway that has a plurality of gateway premises equipment (“GPE”) units and a network fuser connected to the plurality of GPE units to coordinate the activities of the plurality of the GPE units. The network fuser can provide DSP configuration information and RF configuration information to the GPE units. The network fuser is also operable to connect to a high-speed network (e.g., a backhaul network) and to provision data from the high-speed network to each of the plurality of GPE units. The system can also include a plurality of customer premises equipment (“CPE”) units remote from the gateway.
