    Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure relate to a multi-source same-cell wireless distribution system (WDS) with dynamic source adaptation. In this regard, the WDS includes multiple remote units each configured to distribute a downlink communications signal having identical cell identification in a respective coverage area. The WDS includes a signal distribution circuit communicatively coupled to multiple signal sources. The signal distribution circuit can dynamically determine a selected coverage cell among multiple coverage cells having a client device load higher than a predefined load threshold. Accordingly, the signal distribution circuit can redistribute the defined source capacity of a selected signal source among the multiple signal sources exclusively to the selected coverage cell. By dynamically distributing more capacity to the selected coverage cell with higher client device load, it is possible to increase data throughput, thus helping to provide improved user experience in the selected coverage cell.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure relate to supporting cooperative transmission in massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems, such as a wireless distribution system (WDS). A WDS includes a plurality of remote units each defining a home coverage cell. A selected remote unit can coordinate with a neighboring remote unit(s) to help mitigate inter-cell interference for a selected client device(s) located in an overlapping coverage area between the home coverage cell of the selected remote unit and a neighboring coverage cell(s) defined by the neighboring remote unit(s). The selected remote unit receives channel-data information from the selected client device(s) and forms a first radio frequency (RF) beam based on the channel-data information to distribute a downlink signal(s) to the selected client device. The selected remote unit coordinates with the neighboring remote unit(s) based on the channel-data information to form a second RF beam to distribute the downlink signal(s) to the selected client device.
