Abstract: A method and apparatus for sectorizing coverage of a cellular communications area includes providing a remote unit having microcell antenna units. Each microcell antenna unit is configured to cover a particular sector. The remote unit is connected to a sectorized base station unit which is connected to a mobile telecommunications switching office. Separate digitized streams representative of telephone signals received from the mobile telecommunications switching office are generated corresponding to the microcell antenna units and the separate digitized streams are multiplexed and transmitted to the remote unit. The remote unit demultiplexes the multiplexed digitized streams into the separate digitized streams corresponding to the microcell antenna units and the separate digitized streams are converted to RF signals for coverage of a particular sector by the corresponding microcell antenna unit. Separate digitized streams are separately generated for each microcell antenna unit representative of RF signals received at the microcell antenna unit for a particular sector. The separately generated digitized streams are multiplexed at the remote unit and transmitted to the sectorized base station unit. At the sectorized base station unit, the multiplexed digitized streams are demultiplexed into the separate digitized streams corresponding to microcell antenna units and the separate digitized streams are converted to RF signals for provision to the mobile telecommunications switching office. Diversity at the remote units is also provided.

Abstract: A system is provided that includes optical amplifiers provided upstream from an optical add-drop multiplexer (OADM). One of the optical amplifiers may be a Raman amplifier that supplies amplified light to another optical amplifier, such as an erbium doped fiber amplifier (EDFA), which, in turn, further amplifies and feeds the light to an input of the OADM. During turn-up, for example, the EDFA may initially be disabled, the power of the pump lasers of the Raman amplifier may be gradually increased until light input to the EDFA exceeds a power threshold at which the EDFA can amplify the input light. Light supplied to the EDFA does not have an excessive amount of power. Accordingly, at this point, the gain of the EDFA may be appropriately adjusted and then activated to supply optical signals to the OADM. Such optical signals may have a low power but not too low so as to prevent proper operation of downstream EDFA. Moreover, these optical signal do not have power that is so high as to cause “spiking.” As a result, cross-talk with optical signals added by the OADM is minimized, and such added optical signals may be sufficiently amplified by optical amplifiers downstream from the OADM.
