摘要：

An overview of the technical challenges faced by wireless operators in providing cellular backhaul and examining the availability of new technology solutions that might meet these challenges, are discussed. Backhaul in a cellular network is the communication link between a base station and the associated mobile switching nodes. These stations serve to provide radio coverage over a geographical area, supporting radio communications with individual mobile handsets over the radio interface. Microwave radios are commonly used for cellular backhaul and might be installed by the service provider or leased from a third-party network provider. The physical medium for backhaul is not limited to microwave radios but also may include optical fiber or other transmission technologies, such as free-space optical links. New technologies such as the proliferation of carrier Ethernet-based solutions and millimeter wave radios as well as satellite backhaul solutions are emerging.
