  • Patent number: 11212759
    Abstract: In one example, a system comprises a central unit and a radiating point located remotely from the central unit and communicatively coupled to the central unit. The radiating point is configured to provide radio frequency signals to a coverage zone via one or more antennas. The system further comprises a radar sensor communicatively coupled to the radiating point and configured to capture image data in the coverage zone of the radiating point, wherein the radar sensor includes a plurality of transmitters and receivers coupled to an antenna array. One or more components of the system are configured to determine user detection data for users in the coverage zone based on the image data captured by the radar sensor and adjust the power consumption of the radiating point based on the user detection data.

  • Patent number: 11189934
    Abstract: A re-configurable distributed antenna system that includes a plurality of base transceiver stations and a plurality of remote antenna units is provided. The plurality of the remote antenna units are configured and arranged to provide communication services for a plurality of coverage zones. A signal router selectively routes signal communication paths between a plurality of base transceiver stations and the plurality of the remote antenna units. At least one memory is configured to store routing scenarios and distributed antenna system configurations associated with the stored routing scenarios. Moreover, at least one controller dynamically controls the signal router to selectively route the signal communication paths between the plurality of base transceiver stations and the plurality of remote antenna units based at least in part on a then current need of communication service capacity within the plurality of coverage zones and the stored coverage routing scenarios.
