Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0028754A1] A communicator (100) having N physical channels is capable of supporting greater-than-N external wireless communications connections. The N physical channels include a plurality of reconfigurable resource units (RRUs)(102) that can each be dynamically altered to perform any of a multitude of processing tasks. The communicator (100) also includes a controller (104) that is capable of dynamically allocating the N physical channels between the greater-than-N external connections by repeatedly reconfiguring one or more of the physical channels to operate with varying signal formats. A memory (106) stores a library of configuration files for use by the controller (104) in reconfiguring the physical channels during dynamic allocation. In a preferred approach, the controller (104) reconfigures the physical channels during idle operational periods.
