Abstract

See full text

A method and system for dynamically partitioning a signal processing chain of plural signal processing functions, between an edge signal processor associated with an edge node, and a common signal processor associated with a base node is provided. The partition point may be determined in accordance with at least a first parameter that is indicative of a current state of an input signal transmitted to the edge node or common equipment node, current operational or configuration state of the communication network or portion thereof, or other parameter that can impact signal transmission and/or processing. By determining the signal processing chain partition point according to a current input signal or network state, embodiments of the present disclosure are able to more efficiently manage network resources. In addition, joint processing schemes such as CoMP may be more effectively deployed.
