Patent ID: 8681916

Claim:
A master unit for distributing and combining signals of at least one wireless communication network and of at least one wired digital network, the master unit comprising: at least one master modem for converting a downlink data signal from the at least one wired digital network into a downlink coded signal and converting an uplink coded signal into an uplink data signal, using a reference frequency signal for modem clocking; a master uplink interface for communication with a base station of the at least one wireless communication network; a master downlink interface for communication with the base station of the at least one wireless communication network; a master downlink combiner for combining the downlink coded signal, the reference frequency signal, and a downlink signal associated with the at least one wireless communication network, into a downlink common signal; a master uplink splitter for splitting from an uplink common signal the uplink coded signal and an uplink signal associated with the at least one wireless communication network; a reference frequency generator for generating the reference frequency signal for concurrently modem clocking the at least one master modem and clocking a frequency generator that provides mixing signals for frequency mixing the downlink signal; and a master transmission unit for transmitting the downlink common signal for receipt by at least one remote unit.
