Summary:Systems and methods for communicating in an Ethernet cloud radio access network are disclosed. In some implementations, a baseband unit determines a time when a plurality of remote radio heads, accessible to a user equipment, are scheduled to transmit a signal to the user equipment. The baseband unit transmits, via an Ethernet connection and in advance of the determined time, the signal and information about the determined time to each of the plurality of remote radio heads, to enable the plurality of remote radio heads to simultaneously transmit, at the determined time and via a radio connection, a Fourier transform of the signal to the user equipment.
