Abstract: Certain features relate to configuring a distributed antenna system (“DAS”) to interface with and manage components of facility control and monitoring systems while providing wireless communications in a cellular or public safety network. A communications module is configured for receiving facility control signals from facility control and monitoring centers and associated nodes and sensors. A signal processing module is configured to convert the facility control signals a format transportable in the DAS. The signal processing module is also configured to multiplex the facility control signals with mobile voice and data signals being transported in the DAS. The DAS configured to manage components of facility control and monitoring systems can route facility control signals to appropriate facility control centers or the nodes and sensors associated with the facility control centers.

Abstract: Certain aspects involve power management subsystems for a distributed antenna system (“DAS”) or other telecommunication system. The power management subsystem can include a measurement module and an optimization module. The measurement module can monitor a utilization metric for a remote unit in the DAS or other telecommunication system. The power optimization module can determine whether the remote unit is underutilized based on the monitored utilization metric. The power optimization module can configure the remote unit for a low-power operation in response to determining that the remote unit is underutilized.

Abstract: A remote unit of a distributed antenna system includes: a transceiver configured to communicate RF signals between a master unit of the distributed antenna system and a terminal device, and receive downlink RF signals from a base station; and signal processing circuitry configured to provide downlink signals to the master unit. The remote unit receives instructions from a host unit of the distributed antenna system to establish a communication link with the base station in response to detecting a malfunction with respect to an additional communication link between the master unit and an additional base station.

Abstract: A user interface for a distributed antenna system (DAS) is provided. When executed by a processor, a signal distribution engine receives information about signals transported by the DAS and components of the DAS. The signal engine generates a signal set assignment user interface including a list of signals transported by the DAS and a signal set formation area for receiving a signal set. The signal engine also generates a signal distribution user interface that includes representations of signal sets, hardware components, and associations between hardware components. In response to receiving a request to associate the signal set with a specified hardware component, a command is output to configure a signal path so that signals in the signal set are provided to the specified hardware component.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to transport link quality measurement in a distributed antenna system. A link quality indicator associated with the functional performance of a digital transport link in the distributed antenna system can be determined by a component of the distributed antenna system. An indication of a potential fault condition can be determined based on the link quality indicator before a fault condition associated with the potential fault condition occurs. The indication of the potential fault condition can be presented, for example, via a graphical user interface, a table, or an email alert.

Abstract: Certain aspects involve distributing power in a distributed antenna system. A subsystem of the distributed antenna system can receive key performance indicators for remote units and system factors that affect the key performance indicators. The subsystem can determine a radio frequency power to achieve key performance indicators based on the one or more system factors and configure the remote units to operate at the radio frequency power.

Abstract: Systems and methods for automatically configuring a distributed antenna system are provided. A configuration sub-system of the distributed antenna system can identify signal parameters for downlink signals received from one or more base stations via inputs of a unit in the distributed antenna system. The configuration sub-system can automatically determine a configuration plan for the distributed antenna system based on the automatically identified signal parameters. The configuration plan specifies how to combine subsets of the downlink signals for routing to remote antenna units of the distributed antenna system.
