Abstract:
1. A method of performing digital pre-distortion in a communication network, the method comprising: coupling a plurality of base stations to a remote computer in the communication network, wherein each base station of the plurality of base stations has a transceiver; enabling digital pre-distortion processing at a central location for the plurality of base stations by updating parameters for performing digital pre-distortion for each of the plurality of base stations at the remote computer; implementing a transceiver at a base station of the plurality of base stations in the communication network, the transceiver having a pre-distortion circuit and a power amplifier and enabling the transfer of communication signals in the communication network by way of a wireless communication channel; sampling signals, at the pre-distortion circuit of the transceiver, associated with a transmit signal which are necessary to perform digital pre-distortion; providing the sampled signals to the remote computer; and generating, at the remote computer, parameters to be applied to a digital pre-distortion circuit of the transceiver.
