Patent ID: 8897739

Claim:
A method of operating a distributed antenna system, the method comprising: wirelessly receiving a network overhead signal having a network identifier into a base antenna system and transferring the network overhead signal to a first coverage antenna system and to a second coverage antenna system; replacing the network identifier with a first pseudo-network identifier and with a second pseudo-network identifier; wirelessly transmitting the network overhead signal having the first pseudo-network identifier from the first coverage antenna system, wherein the first pseudo-network identifier is associated with first information associated with a first location; wirelessly transmitting the network overhead signal and the second pseudo-network identifier from the second coverage antenna system, wherein the second pseudo-network identifier is associated with second information associated with a second location; and further comprising: receiving an operator instruction associated with the first location; translating the operator instruction into the first pseudo-network identifier; and wherein wirelessly transmitting the network overhead signal having the first pseudo-network identifier comprises wirelessly transmitting the network overhead signal having the first pseudo-network identifier in response to the operator instruction.
