Patent attributes
Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a base station interface configured to receive a modulated signal in a first spectral segment directed to a mobile communication device, wherein the modulated signal conforms to a wireless signaling protocol. A transceiver is configured to: convert the modulated signal in the first spectral segment to the first modulated signal in a second spectral segment based on a signal processing of the modulated signal and without modifying the wireless signaling protocol of the modulated signal, wherein the second spectral segment is outside the first spectral segment; generate fault mitigation messaging in a control channel; and transmit the modulated signal in the second spectral segment and the control channel to another network device of the distributed antenna system.
