Abstract

The outset for distributed RF radio access as presented in Chapter 1 included several types of repeaters, classified by their radio interaction with the donor cell, and by the connections (or backhaul, borrowing the term commonly used in digital links) between their donor and remote units. The backhaul thus constitutes part of the repeater system.
