Abstract:
1. A system for providing a distributed radio communications network, the system comprising: a first gateway receiving a first at least a portion of modulated signals of data wirelessly transmitted from a first node of a plurality of geographically-dispersed nodes, performing analog-to-digital (A/D) conversion to generate first samples of the first at least a portion of the modulated signals, and transmitting the first samples to a server; a second gateway receiving a second at least a portion of the modulated signals of the data wirelessly transmitted from the first node, performing A/D conversion to generate second samples of the second at least a portion of the modulated signals, and transmitting the second samples to the server; and the server receiving the first samples transmitted from the first gateway and the second samples transmitted from the second gateway, the server configured by software-defined radio (SDR) software to combine the received first samples and second samples to recover the modulated signals of the data, and to demodulate the recovered modulated signals to recover the data.
