Abstract:
A distributed antenna system (DAS) includes host that receives downstream signals corresponding to radio frequency (RF) channel and remote antenna units (RAUs) communicatively coupled to host. Host communicates downstream transport signal derived from downstream signals received at host to RAUs. Each RAU uses downstream transport signal to generate downstream RF signal for radiation from antenna associated with RAU. Downstream RF signal comprises a subset of plurality of downstream frequency bands. Each RAU receives upstream RF signal including respective RF channel. Each RAU communicates upstream transport signal derived from upstream RF signal to host. Host uses upstream transport signal to generate upstream signal including at least one upstream frequency band. Host analyzes attribute of downstream and upstream transport signals associated with RAUs, correlates analyzed attribute for each RAU with profile, and determines current capacity usage of RAUs based on correlation. Host dynamically allocates capacity amongst RAUs based on current capacity usage.

Claim (Index 19):
A host unit for use in a distributed antenna system comprising:\n a plurality of base station transceiver interfaces configured to communicate signals with a plurality of base station transceivers; a switching unit communicatively coupled to the plurality of base station transceiver interfaces; a plurality of attribute analyzers coupled to the switching unit; a plurality of transport interfaces coupled to the plurality of attribute analyzers and configured to communicate transport signals with a plurality of remote antenna units; a processor communicatively coupled to the plurality of attribute analyzers and the switching unit; wherein each attribute analyzer is configured to analyze and quantify an attribute of at least one of an upstream transport signal of the transport signals received from a remote antenna unit of the plurality of remote antenna units and a downstream transport signal of the transmit signals transmitted to the remote antenna unit of the plurality of remote antenna units, wherein the attribute is associated with at least one of power, integrity, and noise of the at least one of the downstream transport signal and the upstream transport signal; wherein the processor is configured to correlate the quantified attribute received from each attribute analyzer with a plurality of profiles associated with different usage patterns for the remote antenna units to determine which of the plurality of profiles matches the analyzed attributes best; wherein the processor is further configured to determine the current capacity usage of each of the plurality of remote antenna units by determining which of the plurality of profiles has the highest correlation to each quantified attribute; and wherein the processor is further configured to cause the switching unit to dynamically allocate capacity amongst the plurality of remote antenna units based on the determined current capacity usage.
