Patent ID: 10790903

Abstract:
A distributed radio access network (RAN) is provided. A selected wireless transceiver node(s) in a selected coverage cell receives a radio frequency (RF) test signal(s). The selected wireless transceiver node(s) determines an effective gain value based on a predefined characteristic of the RF test signal(s). The selected wireless transceiver node(s) communicates the effective gain value and other related parameters to a server apparatus in the distributed RAN. The server apparatus determines a common gain value for the selected wireless transceiver node(s) in the selected coverage cell based on the parameters. Accordingly, the selected wireless transceiver node(s) operates based on the common gain value. By determining a respective common gain value for each of the coverage cells in the distributed RAN, it may be possible for all the wireless transceiver nodes in the distributed RAN to communicate an uplink digital communications signal(s) without causing distortion in the uplink digital communications signal(s).
