  • Patent number: 11611817
    Abstract: Systems and assemblies for providing both cellular and passive optical local area network (POLAN) data signals along a single, shared fiber optic backbone within an in-building network architecture are provided herein. Systems include a headend unit that combines data signals from a cellular network and optical line terminal (OLT) onto the fiber optic backbone, which is then connected to a series of daisy-chained fiber optic assembly units. An example fiber optic assembly unit includes an asymmetric coupler that splits an input fiber optic signal from the fiber optic backbone into an output fiber optic signal and a throughput fiber optic signal that is fed back onto the continuing fiber optic backbone. The output fiber optic signal is filtered into dense wavelength-division multiplexing (DWDM) channels for providing data signals to a wireless or cellular network and further split into multiple passive optical network (PON) outputs for a local area network (LAN).

  • Publication number: 20220078639
    Abstract: Optimizing performance between a wireless distribution system (WDS) and a macro network(s). In this regard, a macro network optimization system is configured to detect a performance indicator(s) between a WDS and a macro network and optimize the performance of the macro network based on the detected performance indicator(s). The macro network optimization system analyzes a macro network performance report provided by the macro network and/or a WDS performance report provided by the WDS to detect the performance indicator(s) between the WDS and the macro network. The macro network optimization system reconfigures operations of one or more macro network elements to optimize performance between the WDS and the macro network based on the detected performance indicator(s). By detecting and optimizing performance between the WDS and the macro network, capacity, throughput, and/or coverage of the WDS and the macro network can be improved, thus providing better quality of experience (QoE).

  • Patent number: 10693528
    Abstract: A multi-operator radio node for a communications system that supports sharing a common antenna array while supporting individual spectrum of multiple service providers. The multi-operator radio node includes signal processing circuits for each supported service provider. Each signal processing circuit is configured to receive communications signals for a supported service provider to be distributed through a common antenna array to wireless client devices. Each signal processing circuit includes a modem that processes the received communications signals for spectrum of its service provider to provide signal streams to be distributed to co-located antenna elements in the antenna array. Summation circuits are provided at the front end of each RF chain circuit to combine signal streams of the spectrum of the service providers directed to the same antenna element in the antenna array to form signal beams in individual spectrum layers of the service providers.

  • Patent number: 9813229
    Abstract: A high frequency signal is down-converted into an intermediate frequency signal, transmitted over a limited bandwidth medium from a master unit to a remote unit and up-converted back into its original high frequency at the remote unit. The up-conversion is aided by reconstruction of a reference signal embedded at the master unit as a carrier for a management signal which is transmitted to the remote unit through the same limited bandwidth medium together with the intermediate frequency signal. The reference signal is reconstructed using a phase locked loop which includes a charge pump and is kept stable during intervals between bits and messages by a charge pump shutter.
