Abstract:
A distributed antenna system is provided that frequency shifts the output of one or more microcells to a 60 GHz or higher frequency range for transmission to a set of distributed antennas. The cellular band outputs of these microcell base station devices are used to modulate a 60 GHz (or higher) carrier wave, yielding a group of subcarriers on the 60 GHz carrier wave. This group will then be transmitted in the air via analog microwave RF unit, after which it can be repeated or radiated to the surrounding area. The repeaters amplify the signal and resend it on the air again toward the next repeater. In places where a microcell is required, the 60 GHz signal is shifted in frequency back to its original frequency (e.g., the 1.9 GHz cellular band) and radiated locally to nearby mobile devices.

Claim (Index 19):
A first system of a distributed antenna system, comprising:\n an antenna system; and communication circuitry that facilitates operations, the operations comprising:\n wirelessly receiving, by the antenna system, a first frequency-shifted signal, a second frequency-shifted signal, and a first reference signal from a second system of the distributed antenna system, the second system facilitating a first frequency shifting of a first signal operating in a first frequency band to the first frequency-shifted signal without modifying a first signaling protocol used to modulate the first signal, and the second system facilitating a second frequency shifting of a second signal operating in a second frequency band to the second frequency-shifted signal without modifying a second signaling protocol used to modulate the second signal; \n performing a third frequency shifting of the first frequency-shifted signal to the first signal in the first frequency band for wireless delivery to a first communication device, the third frequency shifting utilizing the first reference signal to reduce signal distortion during the third frequency shifting; and \n retransmitting, by the antenna system, the second frequency-shifted signal and a second reference signal to a third system of the distributed antenna system, the second reference signal enabling the third system to reduce signal distortion when reconverting the second frequency-shifted signal to the second signal in the second frequency band for wireless delivery to a second communication device.
