Abstract:
Embodiments relate to providing simultaneous digital and analog services in optical fiber-based distributed radio frequency (RF) antenna systems (DASs), and related components and methods. A multiplex switch unit associated with a head-end unit of a DAS can be configured to receive a plurality of analog and digital downlink signals from one or more sources, such as a service matrix unit, and to assign each downlink signal to be transmitted to one or more remote units of the DAS. In one example, when two or more downlink signals are assigned to be transmitted to the same remote unit, a wave division multiplexer/demultiplexer associated with the multiplex switch unit can be configured to wave division multiplex the component downlink signals into a combined downlink signal for remote side transmission and to demultiplex received combined uplink signals into their component uplink signals for head-end side transmission.

Claim (Index 1):
A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions for directing a processor to perform a method, comprising:\n receiving, at a plurality of head-end side inputs of a multiplex switch unit in a wireless communication system, a plurality of component downlink signals comprising at least one downlink radio frequency (RF) communication signal and at least one downlink digital data (DD) signal; assigning each component downlink signal received at the plurality of head-end side inputs to at least one of a plurality of remote side optical outputs of the multiplex switch unit, including assigning at least one downlink RF communication signal and at least one downlink DD signal to a common remote side optical output; and for each remote side optical output:\n multiplexing the respective assigned component downlink signals into a combined optical downlink signal; and \n transmitting the respective combined downlink optical signal to the assigned at least one of a plurality of remote side optical outputs.
