The general architecture ‘of a DAS is depicted in FIG. 1. 10008] A single DAS can serve a single wireless service oF ‘combination of many wireless services operating over mul tiple bands, With respect to each wircless service served hy the DAS, the Aggregation Configuration ofthe wireless ser= view canbe characterized as non-agregated or aguregated In 4 non-agaregated configuration, there is 2 1:1 relationship between DAS antenaae and Base Transceiver Stations (BTS) ‘or Transmitter Receiver nits for that wireless service. In an ‘aggregated configuration, each BTS unit fora given wireless service is associated with multiple DAS antennae through @ hierarchy of aggregation, For example, in FIG. 2, Services A, BB, and C are aggregated and Services DI, D2, and D3 are raguregated. Services sueh as D1, D2, and D3 ean be ayaregated as well. The ability to aggregate services is typi- ‘ally 3 Tunetion of the remote wiring eloset equip. Typically, ‘wireless LAN services are arranged in #non-aggregated con- figuration when using a DAS while cellular services are ypi- cally arranged in an aggregated configuration. 10009] "One desited characteristic of amli-service DAS is that it can use a single antenna to radiate aad receive the signals forall servies and frequency bands supported by the DAS, Such an antenna would need w eover (ie. have aecept- able performance) in all fraqueney bands of intrest and is ‘commonly referee to a8 9 Broadband Antenna, An example ‘ofa supported frequency range for a DAS antenna would be 400 MElz-6 GHz. To provide MIMO based services, a MIMO. fntenna which includes multiple antenna elements at a com- ‘moi locaton ean be used Apr. 15, 2010 [010] In cefering tothe signal flows in DAS systems the term Downlink signal refers tothe signal being trinsmited by the source transmitter (eg, cellular base station) through an ‘antenna to the terminals and the term Uplink signal refers to the signals being transmitted by the terminals which are received by an antenna and lo 1 the source receiver. Many Wireless serviees have both an uplink and a downlink, but some have only a downlink (eg. mobile video broadcast service)oronly an uplink e.g certain types of medical telem- enn). [0011] 2. Description ofthe Prior Ant [0012] In addition to providing cellular and other wireless services, these DAS can be used to provide Time Division Duplexed (TDD) based services sueh as WiFi (EEE 802.11 ‘and similar standards), ZigHice, Blue ‘Tooth, WiMAX, Advanced Wireless Services (AWS) as well as Frequency Division Duplex (FD) based services such as WiMAX, Personal Communication Services (PCS) and AWS. When DAS used to provide these services, either the Main wiring closet orremote wiring closet equipment needsan interface fonneet the service network tothe DAS, These souree inter Taces are commonly referred 10 as a Macro/MienPica! Femto BTS or Access Point (AP) etc For each additional Wireless service that is connected to the DAS a separate, dicated BTS is needed. Thus, tis difficult to support mul- tiple service networks on a DAS because many expensive BIS devices are need. SUMMARY, [0013] One of the benefits of a DAS is that it cam allow ‘many different wireless services to be provided over a com: ‘mon physical infastrctire (Wiring. wiring closet units Anteuna units and other physical components). Thus, once the physical infrastructure i installed, the same physical ini. structure can be used to support akltonal wireless services and avoids the expense of additional equipment and the installation ofthat equipment. In adition, operational ben- clits include lower energy costs and potenilly lower main- [0014] Where DAS has been installed in a facility, itean be desirable to ad other wireless services including TDD based services such as WiFi, WiMAX, AWS, ZigBee, Blue ‘Tooth and FDD based services such es WiMAX, PCS and AWS. For each service, an interface can he used to connect, the service network tothe DAS. In addition, a GPS reociver (or an envelop detector) can be connected to the DAS and used to provide a 1 pulse per second (1 pps) signal to syn- cchonize any anal fhe eomponcats ofthe DAS for trans- ting and receiving the wireless signals, The 1 pps sigaal can be distributed over the DAS to any or all of the wiring closet units and wo the aatenna units to enable them to be Synchronized for transmission and reception of the wireless signal [0015] In accordance with one embodiment of the inven- ‘ion, the DAS includes a B'TS coupled to one or more wiring closet or combining units, each wiring closet unit being coupled to one ormore antenna units fr providing a wireless service, The antenna units can include passive or aetive Antenna elements or combination of bath. The DAS ean be ‘sonple to first interface which is coupled oa frst wireless ‘network to enable the DAS to eamy the ist wireless network signals over the DAS and the DAS can also be coupled to @ second interface which is coupled to a sconndl wireless net- ‘work to enable the DAS to carry the second wireless network US 2010/0093391 AI signals over the DAS, Al he active elements in the DAS ea bbe monitored or configured by a point to meltpoint central- ‘zed management system, the management system can tas: mit and receive point to mulipoia signals to and from any of the addressed elements attached to the DAS, The DAS can ‘ako coupled to a global positioning system (GPS) receiver ‘andadapted to receive the | ppsclock signal fom one or more GPS satellites and the DAS is adapted and configured to
