Abstract:
1. A wireless communication system, the system comprising: a plurality of Remote Radio Units (RRUs), each including a packet transceiver module, each transceiver module located at one of a plurality of cell sites in said wireless communication system, each of said transceiver modules communicatively coupled to a hub via a first transport communication medium, said first transport communication medium transporting information in form of packetized bit streams, said transceiver modules being configured to receive RF radio signals over a wireless link and process the received RF signals to produce packetized demodulated bit streams for transmission over the transport communication medium; the hub including: a mobile switching office (MSO) in communication with the hub via a second transport communication medium and configured to receive and process the T1/E1 signal to produce a channelized circuit-switched T1/E1 signal; wherein the traffic consolidator unit includes an application server shelf configured to support a plurality of customized software applications, including a continuous network optimization (CNO) application for continuously monitoring network performance as represented by a plurality of network parameters related to RF capacity for automatically providing sufficient bandwidth and determining what level of baseband resources are required; determining if an increase/decrease in RF activity has occurred based on said monitored parameters; and automatically adjusting the bandwidth between one of the following sites, Cellsite and hub, Hub to MSO, hub to hub or MSO to MSO; and
