Conceptual platform of distributed wireless communication system

Abstract

Research on next generation wireless communications integrated with current wireline networks is a potential issue considered worldwide. A novel wireless system, called distributed wireless communication system (DWCS), is proposed. Logically, it is divided into four layers. They are distributed antennas, a distributed fiber-optic transmission network, distributed processing network and a distributed core network. To support different radio access standards, the distributed processing network is realized with a software radio technique. Also, some new concepts, such virtual cell and virtual tunnel is proposed for DWCS. It is foreseen that the DWCS has three phases of development and how it conforms with the Internet is considered. Thus, the DWCS is a system that depends not only on wireless technologies, but also on Internet technologies. In terms of our description, the DWCS has the characteristics of an open distributed system with flexibility, scalability and expansibility.
