Abstract
A distributed antenna system includes network interfaces configured to receive signals from devices external to distributed antenna system and to convert signals to downlink serialized data streams; distributed antenna switch communicatively coupled to network interfaces by digital communication links, distributed antenna switch configured to receive downlink serialized data stream from network interfaces across corresponding digital communication link; distributed antenna switch further configured to aggregate downlink serialized data streams into aggregate downlink serialized data stream; remote antenna unit communicatively coupled to distributed antenna switch by digital communication link that receives aggregate downlink serialized data stream across digital communication link, remote antenna unit further configured to extract downlink serialized data streams from aggregate downlink serialized data stream; remote antenna unit having radio frequency converter configured to convert downlink serialized data stream into radio frequency band and radio frequency transceiver/antenna pair configured to transmit signals in radio frequency band to subscriber unit.
