Abstract: One embodiment is directed to a universal digital card (UDC) for use in a node of a distributed antenna system (DAS). The UDC is configured to convert data between an external interface format used to communicate on an external communication link and a fronthaul interface format natively used in the DAS. The UDC is configured to be selectively used either as: a donor card to communicatively couple the node to one or more base station entities via the external digital interface or a distribution card to communicatively couple the node to one or more non-DAS nodes, hubs, switches, or remote radio heads or one or more other DAS nodes access points. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for planning frequency spectrum and power allocated to transmission points of a radio network that is controlled by a spectrum access system and shares spectrum with incumbents and/or other secondary users (e.g., external radio(s)). Techniques are also provided for managing communications between components of the radio network and the spectrum access system, and to allocate frequency spectrum and maximum transmission power to component(s) of a radio network.
