Abstract:
Embodiments of the disclosure relate to a multi-source same-cell wireless distribution system (WDS) with dynamic source adaptation. In this regard, the WDS includes multiple remote units each configured to distribute a downlink communications signal having identical cell identification in a respective coverage area. The WDS includes a signal distribution circuit communicatively coupled to multiple signal sources. The signal distribution circuit can dynamically determine a selected coverage cell among multiple coverage cells having a client device load higher than a predefined load threshold. Accordingly, the signal distribution circuit can redistribute the defined source capacity of a selected signal source among the multiple signal sources exclusively to the selected coverage cell. By dynamically distributing more capacity to the selected coverage cell with higher client device load, it is possible to increase data throughput, thus helping to provide improved user experience in the selected coverage cell.

Claim (Index 8):
A communications system, comprising:\n a plurality of signal sources associated with an identical cell identification, wherein each of the plurality of signal sources has a defined source capacity and configured to distribute a downlink communications signal comprising the identical cell identification, wherein the communications system does not include a macro coverage cell associated with the identical cell identification; a plurality of remote units, each comprising at least one optical-to-electrical converter and at least one electrical-to-optical converter, each remote unit configured to distribute the downlink communications signal to one or more client devices in a respective coverage cell among a plurality of coverage cells associated with the identical cell identification in the communications system; optical fiber-based communications media communicatively coupled to the plurality of remote units; and a signal distribution circuit communicatively coupled to the plurality of signal sources, the signal distribution circuit configured to:\n receive the downlink communications signal from the plurality of signal sources; \n determine a selected coverage cell among the plurality of coverage cells having a client device load higher than a load threshold; \n determine a selected signal source among the plurality of signal sources for providing the respective defined source capacity to the selected coverage cell; and \n distribute the downlink communications signal received from the selected signal source exclusively to the selected coverage cell.
