Abstract

See full text

The invention relates to a method for transmitting a plurality of antenna signals in a wireless Base Transceiver Station (BTS) using Remote Radio Head (RRH) technology and the corresponding system. The method includes the steps of: transmitting signals over the transmit channel using Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH)/Optical Transmission Network (OTN), multiplexing the plurality of antenna signals adopting the manners of time division multiplex or GFP frame-level multiplex; forming the multiplexed antenna signal stream and in-band control signaling stream into Generic Framing Procedure (GFP) frame; or forming the plurality of antenna signals and the plurality of respective control signals on the in-band control signaling channel into a plurality of respective GFP frames in parallel; and further mapping the GFP frames to STM-N/OTM-n frames, therefore multiplexing the plurality of antenna signals and the in-band control signaling stream to realize the SDH/OTN-based transmission. According to the invention, in the circumstance of using a plurality of antennas for transmitting signals, the strict time and phase relations between various antenna signals can be ensured, and also system complexity can be simplified, the transmission delays from various antenna signals to CBTS are totally the same.
