ABSTRACT:
Radio frequency (RF) mobile telephone communications signals are converted to cable television (CATV) frequencies for transmission over existing CATV infrastructure. In the upstream path (i.e., from one or more mobile telephones to a base station), multiple receivers (called remote converters) receive and convert RF signals to cable signals. The cable signals from different receivers are combined by a remote cable node and transmitted over tie cable network to tie base station. In order to reduce noise in the combined cable signal, only those remote converters that receive RF signals of sufficient power level will contribute cable signals to the combined signal. This scheme enables the communications network to be configured with a greater number of relatively inexpensive, low-power remote converters for each remote cable node while still maintaining signal integrity.
