Abstract:
A base station of a radio system comprising:a central processing unit which includes:control and maintenance means for controlling the base station in response to control signals transmitted from a base station controller, andat least one baseband frame unit (BBU1-BBU10) for generating and supplying baseband signals further via switching means alternatively to one of at least two radio channel units of the base station in response to telecommunication signals transmitted from the base station controller and for processing baseband signals transmitted from the one of the at least two radio channel units and for supplying the baseband signals further to the base station controller;means for establishing a telecommunication connection with radio signals to radio units (MS) in a radio coverage area of the base station; andat least two radio set units arranged separately from one another, at least one of the at least two radio set units being arranged at a distance from the central processing unit, wherein:the at least two radio channel units are arranged into different ones of the at least two radio set units for transferring the baseband signals transmitted from the at least one baseband frame unit to a predetermined radio channel and for forwarding radio frequency signals via antenna means of a respective one of the at least two radio set units, and for transferring radio frequency signals received with the antenna means to a baseband and for supplying the baseband signals to the at least one baseband frame unit.
