Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method is provided in example embodiments that include receiving a radio signal stream and segmenting the radio signal stream into segments. The segments may be packetized and transported in packets over a pseudowire in a packet-switched network. The radio signal stream can be reconstructed from the segments. In more particular embodiments, the pseudowire may be a multi-protocol label switching pseudowire or a layer 2 tunneling protocol pseudowire, for example. In yet other specific example embodiments, the radio signal stream may be received using a common public radio interface or a femtocell application programming interface.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method, comprising: receiving a first radio signal stream; segmenting the first radio signal stream into first segments; integrating, into one of the first segments of the first radio signal stream, packet loss recovery data; prepending a control word to the one of the first segments of the first radio signal stream; encapsulating the one of the first segments of the first radio signal stream with a network header to produce a packet from the one o…
