Method and system for relaying telecommunications signals
First Claim
1. A system for relaying telecommunication signals, comprising:
- a central hub connectable to one or more base stations;
a plurality of remote units for relaying the telecommunication signals; and
a plurality of expansion units digitally connected to the central hub and connect-able to the plurality of remote units,wherein at least one of the plurality of expansion units is provided with a plurality of coverage area modules, wherein one or more of the plurality of remote units is connected to a selected one of the plurality of coverage area modules, the selected one of the coverage area modules being adapted to relay same signals to the connected one or more of the plurality of remote units,wherein a connection between the plurality of expansion hubs and the plurality of remote units is reconfigurable, and so that at least one of the remote units may be connected from a first selected one of the coverage area modules, to a second selected one of the coverage area modules.

7. A method for relaying telecommunication signals comprising the steps of:
-
receiving telecommunications signals from at least one network operator by a central hub; generating one or more carrier bundles of the telecommunications signals in the central hub; passing the one or more defined carrier bundles to a plurality of expansion units, wherein the plurality of expansion units are digitally connected to the central hub and connectable to the plurality of remote units provided with a plurality of coverage area modules, wherein at least one of the plurality of expansion units is provided with a plurality of coverage area modules, wherein one or more of the plurality of remote units is connected to a selected one of the plurality of coverage area modules, the selected one of the coverage area modules being adapted to relay same signals to the connected one or more of the plurality of remote units; associating a passed one of the defined carrier bundles with an associated coverage areas; and passing the carrier bundle to remote units for relaying of the radio signals to the associated coverage area, reconfiguring a connection between the plurality of expansion units and the plurality of remote units, so that at least one of the remote units is connected to a first selected one of the coverage area in a first configuration and is connected to a second selected one of the coverage area in a second configuration. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)
