Abstract

Certain aspects are directed to a base station router for use within an analog distributed antenna system. The base station router comprises circuitry configured to: receive digital signals representing radio frequency channels from at least one base station; convert the digital signals to analog radio frequency signals; and communicate analog signals derived from the analog radio frequency signals to a plurality of remote antenna units of the analog distributed antenna system using analog communication links, the analog signals used for transmission of the analog radio frequency signals at each of a plurality of coverage zones at an antenna associated with each remote antenna unit of the plurality of remote antenna units.
