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 6):
The module of  claim 1 , wherein the memory comprises a plurality of TTD configurations;\n wherein the processor selects an initial clock setting by selecting a first clock setting associated with a first TTD configuration from the plurality of TTD configuration based on the downlink:uplink sub-frame ratio; wherein the processor calculates a clock setting adjustment statistically from a set of switching time differentials, wherein each switching time differential of the set of switching time differentials is a difference between a start of a respective downlink sub-frame as determined from the downlink path signal power measurement and a time at which a respective one of the control signals is provided to the at least one switch; and wherein the clock setting is determined from the initial clock setting as adjusted by the clock setting adjustment.
