Claim Text:
1. A system for synchronizing transmission through the introduction of a specific additional delay in a wireless telecommunications network, comprising: at least a distributed antenna system (DAS) connected to a central communications hub site, wherein the central communications hub site is part of a macro cellular network; the DAS comprising one or more DAS nodes distributed in an area to transmit and receive radio frequency (RF) signals, wherein each of the one or more DAS nodes comprises at least one antenna to facilitate RF transmission, and wherein each of the one or more DAS nodes is located at a same distance or a different distance to another of the one or more DAS nodes from the central communications hub site; the one or more DAS nodes encounter a delay in transmission of the RF signals because of their respective one or more distances from the central communications hub site, wherein each of the one or more DAS nodes encounter an amount of the delay in proportion to its distance from the central communications hub site; and each of the one or more DAS nodes further delays transmission to synchronize with transmissions within the macro cellular network, wherein each of the one or more DAS nodes transmits RF signals at a same time as RF signals in the macro cellular network to avoid interference.
