Processing wireless data using baseband gateways
A recently filed patent (Publication Number: US20230292175A1) describes a method for processing wireless data by a baseband gateway in a cell deployment. The method involves decompressing wireless data received from a radio unit to generate first decompressed data. This first decompressed data is then combined with second decompressed data associated with the radio unit to generate combined decompressed data. Baseband processing is performed on the combined decompressed data to generate baseband processed data, which is then transmitted to a mid-haul network.
In one embodiment, the method includes obtaining second wireless data associated with a wireless device from a second radio unit. The second wireless data is decompressed to generate third decompressed data, and the combined decompressed data is generated based on a combination of the first decompressed data, the second decompressed data, and the third decompressed data.
The patent also describes various configurations and functionalities of the baseband gateway. For example, the radio units can be in the same network cell or different network cells. The baseband gateway can be directly coupled to the radio units via wired connections and can be connected to the mid-haul network and a centralized unit through network interfaces.
Additionally, the method includes performing noise suppression processing on the first decompressed data to reduce the noise floor. It also involves scanning network ports to identify the addition of radio units and configuring them to be associated with network cells. The method further includes determining the utilization of the baseband gateway and executing machine-readable instructions to decrease the utilization if it exceeds a threshold.
The patent also covers determining the location of a device associated with the wireless data and improving the accuracy of the location determination through machine-readable instructions.
The patent includes claims for both the method and a baseband gateway device. The baseband gateway comprises memory, machine-readable instructions, and processor circuitry to execute the instructions for decompressing wireless data, combining decompressed data, performing baseband processing, and transmitting the processed data to a mid-haul network.
Overall, this patent describes a method and device for efficiently processing wireless data in a cell deployment, providing potential improvements in data compression, baseband processing, noise suppression, network configuration, and location determination.
