Patent ID: 8139567

Claim:
A base station apparatus with antenna arrays comprising: at least one radio frequency (RF) header module; at least one data processing apparatus; and a transceiving apparatus for transceiving data between the at least one radio frequency (RF) header module and the at least one data processing apparatus; wherein the at least one radio frequency (RF) header module comprises: at least one antenna and RF channel corresponding to the antenna; wherein the transceiving apparatus comprises: an uplink module to group data received by the at least one RF header module according to grouping configuration information, and transfer the grouped data to the at least one data processing apparatus; and a downlink module to degroup the data from the at least one data processing apparatus according to the grouping configuration information, and transfer the degrouped data to the at least one RF header module; and wherein the at least one data processing apparatus comprises: at least one uplink sub-channel processing module to process the uplink data of one sub- channel; a data distributor to distribute grouped data to the at least one uplink sub- channel processing module; at least one downlink sub-channel processing module to process the downlink data of one sub-channel; and a data converger to merge the data from each of the at least one downlink sub-channel processing modules.
