Patent ID: 7684823

Claim:
A cellular mobile radio network having at least one base station integrated into a facility supplied with power via a power supply network, the at least one base station being connected to an assigned base station controller, the at least one base station comprising: means for exchanging radio frequency signals with mobile radio devices; a first transceiver module configured to couple the at least one base station to the power supply network, wherein a transmission of electrical signals corresponding to the radio frequency signals is made possible bidirectionally between the first transceiver module and a second transceiver module over the power supply network, the second transceiver module being coupled to the power supply network at another location other than the first transceiver module, and the second transceiver module being connected to the base station controller assigned to the at least one base station so that communication over the power supply network is made possible between the at least one base station and the base station controller assigned thereto; and a control device configured to control the facility into which the at least one base station is integrated, the control device being connected to the facility via the power supply network or directly, the control device including an identification module, means for switching on and off to power the facility, and means for communicating with a central unit, and the control device being identifiable by the central unit based on the identification module, wherein the control device of the at least one base station is controllable by the central unit via the first and second transceiver modules and the assigned base station controller, wherein the facility includes street illumination devices of a road network.
