TIMING ADJUSTMENTS FOR SMALL CELL DISTRIBUTED ANTENNA SYSTEMS
First Claim
1. A distributed antenna system comprising:
- a host unit communicatively coupled to a first service provider interface which receives a first signal from the first service provider interface;
a first remote antenna unit communicatively coupled to the host unit, the first remote antenna unit having a first antenna;
wherein a base station to which the distributed antenna system is communicatively coupled is configured with a subscriber access timing window having a minimum allowed delay and a maximum allowed delay;
wherein the distributed antenna system is configured so that a first total delay between the host unit and the first remote antenna unit is equal to or greater than the minimum allowed delay; and
wherein the first antenna of the first remote antenna unit is configured to communicate the first signal to a first subscriber unit.

Abstract
A distributed antenna system includes a host unit communicatively coupled to a first service provider interface which receives a first signal from the first service provider interface; and a first remote antenna unit communicatively coupled to the host unit, the first remote antenna unit having a first antenna. A base station to which the distributed antenna system is communicatively coupled is configured with a subscriber access timing window having a minimum allowed delay and a maximum allowed delay. The distributed antenna system is configured so that a first total delay between the host unit and the first remote antenna unit is equal to or greater than the minimum allowed delay. The first antenna of the first remote antenna unit is configured to communicate the first signal to a first subscriber unit.
