Wireless communication distributed antenna system and method for facilitating simultaneous and desimultaneous transmission of downlink transmissions

摘要

Base stations may include a plurality of antenna ports adapted to communicatively couple to respective remote antenna units. A base station simulcast controller module may be coupled with each antenna port, and may be adapted to transmit downlink transmissions over a plurality of remote antenna units, with two or more of the remote antenna units simulcasting downlink transmissions as a simulcasting group. In response to one or more obtained network traffic parameters, the base station simulcast controller module may modify the simulcasting group to include at least one different remote antenna unit. Methods operational on base station may include transmitting downlink transmissions over a plurality of remote antenna units, where two or more of the remote antenna units form a simulcasting group. The simulcasting group can be modified to include at least one different remote antenna unit in response to one or more obtained network traffic parameters.
