Wireless communication system, apparatus and method for providing communication service using an additional frequency band through an in-building communication infrastructure

摘要

A system, apparatus and method provides communication services to interior mobile stations within a building structure using an in-building communication infrastructure and distribution stations positioned on selected floors of the building structure. A base station communicates through the in-building communication infrastructure using distribution frequencies suitable for transmission through the in-building communication infrastructure. The distribution stations communicate through the in-building communication infrastructure using the distribution frequencies while providing wireless service to the mobile stations within a coverage frequency bandwidth. An original cable infrastructure of a preexisting communication system can be used to distribute signals throughout the building at the distributions frequencies without the need to install new cables.
