    Abstract: A system for transporting IP data in a Distributed Antenna System includes at least one Digital Access Units (DAU) having a plurality of optical input/output ports and at least one Ethernet port and a plurality of Digital Remote Units (DRUs) coupled to the at least one DAU. Each of the plurality of DRUs has a plurality of optical input/output ports and at least one Ethernet port. The at least one DAU includes a Framer/Deframer operable to separate cellular payload data from IP data and a network switch operable to buffer the cellular payload data and the IP data and to route the IP data received from the plurality of DRUs to the at least one Ethernet port of the DAU.

    Abstract: A remote radio head unit (RRU) system for achieving high data rate communications in a Distributed Antenna System is disclosed. The Distributed Antenna System is configured as a Neutral Host enabling multiple operators to exist on one DAS system. The present disclosure enables a remote radio head unit to be field reconfigurable and support multi-modulation schemes (modulation-independent), multi-carriers, multi-frequency bands and multi-channels. As a result, the remote radio head system is particularly suitable for wireless transmission systems, such as base-stations, repeaters, and indoor signal coverage systems.

    Abstract: A system for indoor localization using satellite navigation signals in a Distributed Antenna System. The system includes a plurality of Off-Air Access Units (OAAUs), each operable to receive an individual satellite navigation signal from at least one of a plurality of satellite navigation systems (e.g., GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, QZSS, or BeiDou) and operable to route signals optically to one or more DAUs. The system further includes a plurality of remote DRUs located at a Remote location that are operable to receive signals from a plurality of local DAUs. Moreover, the system includes an algorithm to delay each individual satellite navigation signal for providing indoor localization at each of the plurality of DRUs.

    Abstract: A system for routing signals in a Distributed Antenna System (DAS) includes one or more local Digital Access Units (DAUs) located at a local location and one or more remote DAUs located at one or more remote locations. Each of the one or more local DAUs includes an optical port coupled to an upstream unit. The upstream unit includes at least one of a repeater, a baseband unit, a Base Transceiver Station (BTS), or a DAU. The one or more remote DAUs are coupled to the one or more local DAUs via one or more optical cables. A distance between the local location and each of the one or more remote locations is greater than two kilometers.
