Abstract

A wireless distribution system (WDS) is configured for transmitting a downlink signal or for receiving an uplink signal. A computing device configured to serve as a client device to the WDS includes a memory; a multiple applications processor in communication with the memory and configured to execute one or more mobile applications; and a wireless service processor in communication with the multi applications processor for communicating via a corresponding wireless service with the WDS. The multi applications processor is configured to execute an instance of a data service to establish a connection with the WDS for a specified application process utilizing the wireless service to provide at least one datum on the WDS. In the method, an instance of a data service is executed to establish a connection with a WDS for a specified application process utilizing a wireless service to provide at least one datum on the WDS.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A communication system, comprising:
an optical fiber-based wireless distribution system (WDS) comprising a plurality of optical fibers and at least one base station, the WDS being configured for transmitting a downlink signal or for receiving an uplink signal; and
a multiple application user device comprising a multi applications processor, a wireless service processor, a memory, a peripheral interface port, and a sensor;
each of the multiple application processor, the wireless service processor, the peripheral interface port, and the sensor communicating data over a communication interface;
the multiple application processor configured to execute an instance of a data service, the data service configured to establish:
a first interface configured to filter data that is sent and received across the communication interface from a client device in the WDS, to selectively acquire user equipment data based on the filtered data; and
a second interface configured to allow remote access to the selected user equipment data from the client device in the WDS.

2. The communication system of claim 1 , wherein the client device is comprised of a multiple application module in the network.

3. The communication system of claim 1 , wherein the selected user equipment data comprises selected network performance data relating to the WDS performance.

4. The communication system of claim 3 , wherein the quality of service is the power level of a scanned band of frequencies.

5. The communication system of claim 3 , wherein the multiple application user device is configured to serve as a master to the client device.

6. The communication system of claim 3 , further comprising a server, wherein the multiple application user device communicates at least one datum on the transmitted downlink signal or the received uplink signal of the WDS to the server.

7. The communication system of claim 3 , wherein the multiple application user device comprises a physical communication port configured to allow a physical connection to the multiple application user device.

8. The communication system of claim 3 , wherein the user equipment is further configured to store the selected user equipment data in a memory.

9. The communication system of claim 3 , wherein the WDS is further configured to provide access to the selected user equipment data stored in the memory of the user equipment.

10. The communication system of claim 1 , wherein the multiple application user device is further configured to scan bands available from a signal source and determine a quality of service of a scanned band of frequencies as the selected network performance data.

11. A communication system, comprising:
a wireless distribution system (WDS) configured for transmitting a downlink signal or for receiving an uplink signal; and
a multiple application user device comprising a multi applications processor, a wireless service processor, a memory, a peripheral interface port, and a sensor;
each of the multiple application processor, the wireless service processor, the peripheral interface port, and the sensor communicating data over a communication interface;
the multiple application processor configured to execute an instance of a data service, the data service comprising a multiple application module in the network and configured to establish:
a first interface configured to filter data that is sent and received across the communication interface from a client device in the WDS, to selectively acquire user equipment data based on the filtered data; and
a second interface configured to allow remote access to the selected user equipment data from the client device in the WDS.

12. The communication system of claim 11 , wherein the selected user equipment data comprises selected network performance data relating to the WDS performance.

13. The communication system of claim 12 , wherein the multiple application user device is further configured to scan bands available from a signal source and determine a quality of service of a scanned band of frequencies as the selected network performance data.

14. The communication system of claim 13 , further comprising a server, wherein the multiple application user device communicates at least one datum on the transmitted downlink signal or the received uplink signal of the WDS to the server.

15. The communication system of claim 13 , wherein the multiple application user device comprises a physical communication port configured to allow a physical connection to the multiple application user device.

16. A communication system, comprising:
an optical fiber-based wireless distribution system (WDS) comprising a plurality of optical fibers, the WDS being configured for transmitting a downlink signal or for receiving an uplink signal; and
a multiple application user device comprising a multi applications processor, a wireless service processor, a memory, a peripheral interface port, and a sensor;
each of the multiple application processor, the wireless service processor, the peripheral interface port, and the sensor communicating data over a communication interface;
the multiple application processor configured to execute an instance of a data service, the data service configured to establish:
a first interface configured to filter data that is sent and received across the communication interface from a client device in the WDS, to selectively acquire user equipment data based on the filtered data; and
a second interface configured to allow remote access to the selected user equipment data from the client device in the WDS, wherein,
the selected user equipment data comprises selected network performance data relating to the WDS performance, and
the multiple application user device is further configured to scan bands and determine a quality of service of a scanned band of frequencies as the selected network performance data.

17. The communication system of claim 16 , wherein the multiple application user device comprises a physical communication port configured to allow a physical connection to the multiple application user device.
