Abstract: Systems and methods disclosed herein provide an inter-node interface for communication between client nodes, such as modems, in a local communication network (LCN), where local data does not pass through a network hub or mobile core. To improve signal strength, SINR and handoff speeds in the LCN, the disclosed systems and methods also enable a client node within the LCN to self-direct simultaneous transmission of a common data packet by a plurality of client nodes, without employing components of the Xhaul transport system for coordination.

Abstract: A method for operating a wireline communication device on a wireless communication network includes (a) receiving a downlink radio frequency (RF) electrical signal at a first connector, (b) converting the downlink RF electrical signal to a downlink access signal having a format that is compatible with the wireline communication device, and (c) providing the downlink access signal to a second connector for transporting to the wireline communication device. A method for extending a wireline communication network includes (a) receiving a downlink wireline signal at a node of the wireline communication network, (b) converting the downlink wireline signal to a downlink RF electrical signal, and (c) converting the downlink RF electrical signal to a downlink wireless signal, for transmission to one or more communication devices which are not physically connected to the wireline communication network.

Abstract: A radio access network (RAN) node is provided for a small cell of a wireless access network having a coaxial line. The RAN node includes an input operably coupled with the coaxial line and an output configured to wirelessly communicate with at least one user equipment device within an operable vicinity of the wireless access network. The RAN node further includes a transmission path configured to (i) connect the input to the output, and (ii) communicate a first radio frequency (RF) signal from the input to the output, and a reception path separate from the transmission path, and configured to (i) connect the output to the input, and (ii) communicate a second radio frequency (RF) signal from the output to the input. The RAN node is configured to dynamically switch between the transmission path and the reception path in response to a tone received from the wireless access network.

Abstract: An interface device for communicatively coupling a first communication medium and a second communication medium includes a radio frequency (RF) processor and a frequency shifting subsystem. The RF processor is configured to receive a first data signal from the first communication medium and convert the first data signal to a plurality of first internal RF signals having a common center frequency. The frequency shifting subsystem is configured to shift the plurality of first internal RF signals having the common center frequency to respective first external RF signals having different respective center frequencies, for transmission on the second communication medium. The second communication medium may be a coaxial electrical cable.
