Abstract
A solution for providing an improved fading margin environment for in-building wireless coverage. An optical fiber or other available broadband signal distribution network is used to distribute signals between centrally located base transceiver station (BTS) equipment and remotely located transceiver equipment referred to herein as a cable microcell integrator (CMI). The CMIs are deployed in a configuration to provide radio frequency coverage in a desired microcell area such as a building floor. In a preferred embodiment, a leaky coaxial cable is used as a radiating element within the microcell.
