Abstract:
A method performed by an intermediate unit of a distributed base station system of a wireless communication network. The distributed base station system has a first base unit and a second base unit connected to the intermediate unit. The intermediate unit is further connected to a first remote unit, which is further connected for distributing wireless signals to pieces of User Equipment (UEs). The intermediate unit receives, from the first base unit, first data and sends the first data over a point-to-point connection to the first remote unit for further distribution wirelessly over a radio channel to the UEs. In response to the reception of the first data, a first indication is sent to the second base unit that the radio channel is free. The second base unit can send second data that is then to be sent from the remote unit towards the UEs on the radio channel.

Claim (Index 19):
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium containing computer readable code to be run in an intermediate unit of a distributed base station system, the distributed base station system comprising a first base unit and a second base unit, each base unit being connected to the intermediate unit, the intermediate unit being further connected via a point-to-point connection to a first remote unit of the distributed base station system, which first remote unit is connected to at least one antenna for distributing wireless signals to pieces of User Equipment (UEs), wherein the computer readable code which, when executed on a processor of the intermediate unit, causes the intermediate unit to perform operations comprising:\n receiving, from the first base unit, first data that is to be sent from the first remote unit towards the UEs on a first radio channel of an unlicensed frequency band; sending the first data over the point-to-point connection to the first remote unit for further distribution wirelessly over the first radio channel to the UEs, in response to the reception of the first data; sending, to the second base unit, a first indication that the first radio channel is free; receiving, from the second base unit, second data that is to be sent from the first remote unit towards the UEs on the first radio channel of the unlicensed frequency band, the second data being received in response to the sending of the first indication; and sending the second data over the point-to-point connection to the first remote unit for further distribution wirelessly over the first radio channel to the UEs, in response to the reception of the second data.
