1. A communication system comprising:

  • a plurality of distributed antenna ports each capable of receiving a communication signal having a signal level;

    a plurality of converters each coupled to one of the distributed antenna ports, wherein each converter digitizes the received signal;

    a communication medium coupling the plurality of distributed antenna ports;

    an attenuation function coupled to the plurality of antenna ports, the attenuation function capable of attenuating at least one signal level in response to attenuation instructions; and

    a gain control function coupled to the attenuation function, the gain control function generating the attenuation instructions in response to a sample of the at least one signal level.
