Abstract: A telecommunications system including a processor and a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a signal distribution engine is provided. The signal distribution engine is executable by the processor device to detect incoming signals received by a DAS that includes a headend unit coupled to RAU(s) using a communication cables or optical fiber; determine information about the detected signals; assign specified signals received by the DAS to a specified RAU in response to a user input via a signal distribution graphical user interface, which includes representations of and associations between the specified signals, headend unit, and RAU(s), that manually associates the specified signals with the specified remote antenna unit; and in response to the user input, output instructions regarding how to route the specified signals from the headend unit to the specified remote antenna unit over a communication cable or optical fiber communicatively coupled to the specified remote antenna unit.

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.

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: Systems and methods for optimized telecommunications distribution are provided. For example, a distributed antenna system can include a master unit for transceiving signals with remote units operable for wirelessly transceiving signals with mobile devices in a coverage area. A self-optimized network analyzer can be in a unit of the distributed antenna system. A self-optimized network controller in the distributed antenna system can output commands for changing operation of a component in the distributed antenna system in response to analysis results from the self-optimized network analyzer. In some aspects, the master unit includes base transceiver station cards for receiving call information in network protocol data from a network and for generating digital signals including the call information from the network protocol data for distribution to the remote units.

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: 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.
