Abstract:
A switching control module can optimize time division duplexing operations of a distributed antenna system (“DAS”). The switching control module can include a measurement receiver and a processor. The measurement receiver can measure signal powers of downlink signals in a downlink path of the DAS. The processor can determine start times for downlink sub-frames transmitted via the downlink path based on downlink signal powers measured by the measurement receiver exceeding a threshold signal power. The processor can identify a clock setting that controls a timing of switching signals used for switching the DAS between an uplink mode and a downlink mode. The processor can statistically determine a switching time adjustment for the clock setting based on switching time differentials between the clock setting and the start times. The processor can update the clock setting based on the switching time adjustment.

Claim (Index 1):
A switching control module for a time division duplexing (TDD) communications system comprising a master unit and at least one remote antenna unit that is communicatively coupled to the master unit by an uplink path and a downlink path, the module comprising:\n a processor coupled to a memory; wherein the processor is configured to send control signals to at least one switch based on switching times controlled by a clock setting, wherein the clock setting is determined by the processor as a function of a downlink:uplink sub-frame ratio and a downlink path signal power measurement; wherein the at least one switch is positioned in the TDD communications system and the control signals instruct the at least one switch to switch the TDD communications system between an uplink mode and a downlink mode.
