The present invention provides a digital optical fiber-based distributed signal control system. The system mainly comprises a wireless signal access control module, a detection module, and a private network module. By means of reasonable frequency allocation and pre-selection filtering processing, modules can work together to implement control and detection of unauthorized mobile phone signals and guarantee communications of legal mobile phones, thereby achieving efficient coverage of a signal control area. A main control signal generated by a main control signal unit (SU) and an auxiliary control signal generated by a remote unit (RU) are mixed according to an algorithm, to achieve a better control effect in the entire signal control area.

Power distribution modules are configured to distribute power to a power-consuming component(s), such as a remote antenna unit(s) (RAU(s)). By “hot” connection and/or disconnection, the power distribution modules can be connected and/or disconnected from a power unit and/or a power-consuming component(s) while power is being provided to the power distribution modules. Power is not required to be disabled in the power unit before connection and/or disconnection of power distribution modules. The power distribution modules may be configured to protect against or reduce electrical arcing or electrical contact erosion that may otherwise result from “hot” connection and/or connection of the power distribution modules.

There is presented mechanisms for providing information for determining beamforming weights or decoding user data for terminal devices. A method is performed by an RE of an access node. The RE has an interface to an REC of the access node. The method comprises obtaining information from the terminal devices to be used by the REC for determining the beamforming weights or decoding the user data. The method comprises selecting, according to a selection criterion, a part of the information to be provided to the REC in order for the REC to determine the beamforming weights or decode the user data based on the selected part of the information. The method comprises providing the selected part of the information to the REC over the interface.

A MIMO system comprises a remote radio unit (RRU) and central unit. The RRU comprises: a binary phase shift keying (BPSK) modulator, configured to modulate a BPSK waveform by a local oscillator (LO) signal to generate a stimulus signal, wherein the LO signal is derived from a downlink optical signal received via downlink radio over fiber (DL-ROF) from a central unit (CU); and an optical signal generator, in particular a laser, configured to generate an uplink optical signal based on the stimulus signal for transmission via uplink radio over fiber (UL-ROF) to the CU.

A device and method for providing a mapping of antenna data into antenna containers within a common public radio interface (CPRI) signal exchanged between a radio equipment controller (REC) and at least one radio equipment (RE) are described.
