Patent ID: 8867451

Claim:
A distributed antenna system comprising: a master unit for transceiving signals with a plurality of remote units operable for wirelessly transceiving signals with mobile devices in a coverage area, wherein the master unit includes a plurality of base transceiver station cards adapted for: receiving call information in an internet protocol data from a network; and, generating digital signals including the call information from the internet protocol data; wherein the master unit is configured for determining a band for the digital signals based on a location of the distributed antenna system; a self-optimized network analyzer in a unit of the distributed antenna system; and a self-optimized network controller for outputting commands for changing operation of a component in the distributed antenna system in response to analysis results from the self-optimized network analyzer, wherein the self-optimized network controller is adapted for: preventing transmission of signals in a downlink band by a remote unit of the distributed antenna system; sending a command to tune a receiver in the remote unit to receive signals in the downlink band; and sending a command to the remote unit regarding transmission of signals in the downlink band in response to an indication from the self-optimized network analyzer about a comparison of processed signals received in the downlink band to an interference threshold.
