FIELD: wireless communication equipment.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to communication engineering and can be used for wireless communication systems. In order to achieve a technical result, an apparatus includes an analog front end to receive an analog input including user data, and an analog-to-digital converter to convert the analog input to digital signals including the user data. Digital channelizer may process the digital signals to generate frequency slices of user data, and a digital combiner may assemble the frequency slices to form output sub-bands of user data. Digital switch may route the frequency slices from the digital channelizer to the digital combiner according to a selected map of a plurality of available maps. Apparatus also includes a map selector to communicate map select data that indicates the selected map. Digital channelizer may receive the map select data and insert them into the frequency slices in-band with the user data thereof. And the digital switch may interpret the map select data inserted into and route the frequency slices according to the selected map.
EFFECT: increased capacity of communication channels by routing frequency slices from a digital channelizer to a digital combiner according to a selected map of a plurality of available maps.
