UPLINK NOISE MINIMIZATION
First Claim
1. A method of controlling uplink signal power in a distributed antenna system having a master unit and a plurality of remote units and coupled with a base station, the method comprising:
- monitoring a noise condition of an uplink signal path in the distributed antenna system including determining the noise contribution from the distributed antenna system that is presented to the base station;
determining the receive noise floor of the base station;
evaluating the determined noise contribution and receive noise floor and, based on the evaluation, adjusting an uplink gain that is applied to uplink signals from the distributed antenna system to a base station.

Abstract
A method of controlling uplink signal power in a distributed antenna system includes monitoring a noise condition of an uplink signal path in the distributed antenna system and determining the noise contribution from the distributed antenna system that is presented to the base station. The receive noise floor of the base station is determined. The determined noise contribution and receive noise floor are unlisted. Based on the evaluation, the uplink gain that is applied to uplink signals from the distributed antenna system to a base station is adjusted.
