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.

Abstract: A method for wireless communication network control includes (1) receiving, at an information technology (IT) device, a first steering policy from an application manager remote from the IT device, the first steering policy specifying a first allocation of data among a plurality of wireless communication links available to the IT device; and (2) sending uplink or downlink data from a first application client on the IT device to a mobility manager remote from the IT device over at least one of the plurality of wireless communication links available to the IT device, according to the first allocation of data.

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.
