In an example embodiment, a system includes a chain of nodes coupled in series, the chain of nodes including a central processing node (CPN) and one or more radio communication nodes (RCNs). The CPN is coupled to a first RCN in the chain via a dielectric waveguide (DWG) link, and any other RCNs in the chain are connected in series from the first RCN in succession via other DWG links. The CPN generates outgoing radio carrier signals that propagate through the waveguide in a downstream direction of the chain for over-the-air (OTA) by a target RCN of the RCNs, while received radio carrier signals via OTA reception by each of the RCNs are received as incoming radio signals that propagate through the waveguide in an upstream direction of the chain for processing by the CPN. Advantages of the contemplated system include greatly simplified implementation of the RCNs with lower cost and power consumption. Furthermore, strategic placement of failover CPNs and DWG links provide for continued operation in the face of CPN or DWG link failure.
