1. A system, comprising:
an antenna radio head, further comprising:
a processor,
a processor memory in communication with the processor, and
a first wireless fronthaul transceiver in communication with the processor and providing a fronthaul connection with a centralized fronthaul node, wherein the connection with the fronthaul node accommodates compression of a raw digital signal; and
a baseband processing unit in communication with the processor of the antenna radio head via the fronthaul connection, the baseband processing unit further comprising:
a baseband processor,
a baseband memory in communication with the baseband processor, and
a cellular transceiver (TRX) processing chain in communication with the baseband processor,
wherein the antenna radio head is configured to receive digital In-phase (I) and Quadrature (Q) signaling information via the fronthaul connection, output an access radio signal, amplify the access radio signal, filter the access radio signal, and transmit the access radio signal, thereby providing access to user equipments (UEs) via the transmitted radio access signal.
