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 14):
A method for supporting multi-source same-cell operation with dynamic source adaptation in a communications system, comprising:\n providing a plurality of remote units, each comprising an optical-to-electrical converter and an electrical-to-optical converter, and each remote unit configured to distribute a downlink communications signal comprising an identical cell identification to one or more client devices in a respective coverage cell among a plurality of coverage cells in the communications system, wherein the communications system does not include a macro coverage cell associated with the identical cell identification; communicatively coupling a signal distribution circuit to a plurality of signal sources each having a defined source capacity and associated with the identical cell identification, the plurality of signal sources configured to distribute the downlink communications signal to the communications system; receiving the downlink communications signal from each of the plurality of signal sources; determining a selected coverage cell among the plurality of coverage cells having a client device load higher than a load threshold; determining a selected signal source among the plurality of signal sources for providing the respective defined source capacity to the selected coverage cell; and distributing the downlink communications signal received from the selected signal source exclusively to the selected coverage cell.
