  • Wireless communications systems supporting carrier aggregation and selective distributed routing of secondary cell component carriers based on transmission power demand or signal
    Patent number: 11223995
    Abstract: Wireless communications systems supporting carrier aggregation and selective distributed routing of secondary cell component carriers based on transmission power demand or signal quality are disclosed. The wireless communications system includes a signal router circuit communicatively coupled to a signal source. The signal router circuit is configured to distribute a primary cell component carrier, including control information, to each of multiple remote units to be distributed to any mobile device in a respective coverage area of any remote unit to avoid the need to support handovers. In addition, the signal router circuit is configured to selectively distribute one or more secondary cell component carriers to any subset of the remote units based on at least one of transmission power demand or signal quality associated with the remote units.

  • Power management for remote antenna units in distributed antenna systems
    Patent number: 11224014
    Abstract: Power management for remote units in a wireless distribution system. Power can be managed for a remote unit configured to power modules and devices that may require more power to operate than power available to the remote unit. For example, the remote unit may be configured to include power-consuming remote unit modules to provide communication services. As another example, the remote unit may be configured to provide power through powered ports in the remote unit to power-consuming devices. Depending on the configuration of the remote unit, the power-consuming remote unit modules and/or power-consuming devices may demand more power than is available at the remote unit. In this instance, the power available at the remote unit can be distributed to the power-consuming modules and devices based on the priority of services desired to be provided by the remote unit.
