Abstract:
Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, receiving, by a network element of a distributed antenna system, a reference signal, a control channel and a first modulated signal at a first carrier frequency, the first modulated signal including first communications data provided by a base station and directed to a mobile communication device. The instructions in the control channel direct the network element of the distributed antenna system to convert the first modulated signal at the first carrier frequency to the first modulated signal in a first spectral segment. The reference signal is received at an in-band frequency relative to the control channel. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Claim (Index 1):
A method, comprising:\n receiving, by a system including circuitry, a modulated signal in a first spectral segment directed to a mobile communication device, wherein the modulated signal conforms to a signaling protocol; converting, by the system, the modulated signal in the first spectral segment to the modulated signal at a second spectral segment based on a signal processing of the modulated signal and without modifying the signaling protocol of the modulated signal, wherein the second spectral segment is outside the first spectral segment; transmitting, by the system, instructions in a control channel to direct a network element of a distributed antenna system to convert the modulated signal in the second spectral segment to the modulated signal in the first spectral segment; and transmitting, by the system, a reference signal with the modulated signal in the second spectral segment to the network element of the distributed antenna system, the reference signal enabling the network element to reduce a phase error when reconverting the modulated signal in the second spectral segment to the modulated signal in the first spectral segment for wireless distribution of the modulated signal to the mobile communication device in the first spectral segment, wherein the reference signal is transmitted at an in-band frequency relative to the control channel.
