Claim Text:
1. A gain control system for providing system-wide uplink band gain control in a distributed antenna system (DAS), based on per-band gain control of remote uplink paths in remote units, comprising: a plurality of remote units, each comprising: a central controller configured to, for each uplink band in the DAS: wherein the central controller is configured to determine if the uplink gain of the remote uplink paths of the plurality of remote uplink paths of the uplink band should be adjusted by being configured to: (a) identify as high power remote uplink paths any remote uplink paths of the plurality of remote uplink paths of the uplink band that have a remote uplink band power measurement above a remote uplink threshold power level; and (b) if a number of remote uplink paths of the plurality of remote uplink paths of the uplink band identified as high power remote uplink paths exceeds a high power remote uplink path threshold level:
