Heterogeneous wireless networks, where diverse types of communication standards are expected to coexist, call for flexible multistandard radio (MSR) systems to replace traditional single-standard ones. For example, according to the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP), an MSR base station is a “base station characterized by the ability of its receiver and transmitter to process two or more carriers in common active radio frequency (RF) components simultaneously in a declared RF bandwidth, where at least one carrier is of a different radio access technology (RAT) than the other carrier(s).”
