Patent ID: 7864660

Claim:
A method for transporting an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing signal in a radio network, wherein the signal is transported over wires between a radio head and a radio controller, said method comprising the steps of: determining a useful band of each wire; associating at least two wires in a group based at least in part on the Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing signal to be transported, known transport conditions, and the useful bands resulting from the determining; filtering the Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing signal into sub-bands; creating a direct spectrum and an associated inverse spectrum of each sub-band; transporting the direct spectrum and corresponding inverse spectrum for each sub-band from a sending network device to a receiving network device over the group of associated wires, wherein the direct spectra are transported over a first portion of the group of associated wires and the inverse spectra are transported over a second portion of the group of associated wires; at the receiving network device, recombining each direct spectrum and the associated inverse spectrum for each sub-band; and rebuilding the Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing signal from the sub-bands resulting from the recombining.
