Filed:

Aug 31, 2017

Appl. No.:

15/692662

Inventors:

- Hickory NC, US
Michael J. Williamson - Clayton NC, US
Fred William Phillips - Forest VA, US
Charles B. Morrison - Forest VA, US
Christopher Goodman Ranson - Concord VA, US
Thomas Kummetz - Kissing, DE

International Classification:

H04W 52/02
H04L 12/24
H04W 24/02
H04L 12/26

Abstract:

Certain aspects involve power management subsystems for a distributed antenna system (“DAS”) or other telecommunication system. The power management subsystem can include a measurement module and an optimization module. The measurement module can monitor a utilization metric for a remote unit in the DAS or other telecommunication system. The power optimization module can determine whether the remote unit is underutilized based on the monitored utilization metric. The power optimization module can configure the remote unit for a low-power operation in response to determining that the remote unit is underutilized.
