Abstract:
1. A radio head interface for a communications system, the radio head interface comprising: one or more digital frequency converters; and a configuration management unit, the configuration management unit adapted to receive reconfiguration parameters from the communications system for a digital frequency converter of the one or more digital frequency converters, the configuration management unit further adapted to reconfigure the digital frequency converter of the one or more digital frequency converters based on the reconfiguration parameters, wherein the reconfiguration parameters are contained within a page of data samples received by the radio head interface; wherein the page of data samples further comprises a page header, wherein the reconfiguration parameters are contained in the page header; wherein reconfiguration parameters include at least one of a frequency hopping indicator, RF frequency channel parameters, a protocol reconfiguration indicator, channel modulation protocol assignment parameters, a signal bandwidth indicator, signal bandwidth allocation parameters, a signal gain indicator, signal gain parameters, a timing trigger; wherein the timing trigger is a designated time; and wherein the designated time correlates to a time count internal to the radio head interface module.
