The distributed wireless communication system (DWCS) is a new architecture for a wireless access system with distributed antennas, distributed processors, and distributed control. With distributed antennas, the system capacity can be expanded through dense frequency reuse, and the transmission power can be greatly decreased. With distributed processors control, the system works like a software or network radio, so different standards can coexist, and the system capacity can be increased by coprocessing of signals to and from multiple antennas.
