Assignee: AIRSPAN IP HOLDCO LLC
Field: Digital communication (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 0:
1. A network comprising:
antenna circuitry configured to receive incoming signals from a base station and transmit outgoing signals;
remote modem circuitry connected to the antenna circuitry by analog cabling, the remote modem circuitry being configured to demodulate a first incoming signal of the incoming signals, as received by the antenna circuitry, to produce first incoming data; and
control circuitry that is remote from the remote modem circuitry and is connected to the remote modem circuitry via digital cabling, the control circuitry being configured to determine whether to control the remote modem circuitry to receive data from a different base station and to receive the first incoming data from the remote modem circuitry,
wherein the network is configured to be split across a boundary of a vehicle such that the control circuitry is internal to the vehicle and the remote modem circuitry is external to the vehicle,. and
wherein the network further includes:
further modem circuitry configured to demodulate a second incoming signal of the incoming signals to produce second incoming data and to provide the second incoming data to the control circuitry, wherein the control circuitry is adapted to determine whether to control the further modem circuitry to receive data from a different base station; and
beamforming circuitry configured to perform beamforming using the remote modem circuitry and the further modem circuitry.
