Abstract:
Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a device that converts a modulated signal in a spectral segment to the modulated signal at a carrier frequency without modifying a signaling protocol, wherein the carrier frequency is outside of the spectral segment. A guided electromagnetic wave is generated that propagates along a physical transmission medium without requiring an electrical return path and includes a reference signal in addition to the modulated signal at the carrier frequency. A wireless signal is transmitted by antenna coupled to the physical transmission medium, wherein the signal is directed to a network element of a distributed antenna system, including the reference signal and modulated signal. The reference signal enables the network element to reduce distortion when reconverting the modulated signal at the carrier frequency to the modulated signal in the spectral segment for wireless distribution to a mobile communication device. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Claim (Index 1):
A method, comprising:\n converting, by a processing system including a processor, a modulated signal in a spectral segment to the modulated signal at a carrier frequency without modifying a signaling protocol of the modulated signal, wherein the carrier frequency is outside of the spectral segment; and generating, by a transmitter of the processing system, a guided electromagnetic wave that propagates along a physical transmission medium without requiring an electrical return path, wherein the guided electromagnetic wave includes a reference signal in addition to the modulated signal at the carrier frequency, wherein an antenna coupled to the physical transmission medium generates, according to the guided electromagnetic wave, a wireless signal directed to a network element of a distributed antenna system, wherein the wireless signal includes the reference signal and the modulated signal at the carrier frequency, and wherein the reference signal enables the network element to reduce a distortion when reconverting the modulated signal at the carrier frequency to the modulated signal in the spectral segment for wireless distribution of the modulated signal in the spectral segment to a mobile communication device.
