The regulatory treatment of Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS) has received scant academic attention despite DAS' growing commercial viability and widespread use. This paper analyzes regulatory classifications for wireless deployments involving DAS. It emphasizes that DAS deployments are not monolithic and, particularly, that the existing regulatory framework fails to satisfactorily account for the diversity in practical implementations of DAS networks. This paper explores three instances of problematic application of conventional regulations upon unique DAS designs. DAS antennas differ from traditional cell sites because of design intricacies such as limited on site processing and a smaller form factor. Accordingly, the FCC should revisit its decision to impose a back up power rule on DAS antenna nodes at the federal level. Second, this paper questions the wisdom of state regulations that uniformly impose common carrier obligations upon DAS providers. Third, this paper also propounds that the current state of DAS-level municipal regulations is fractured and suggests a unified regulatory approach extended to all municipalities. The case studies investigated in this paper suggest modifications to the existing regulatory framework to achieve essential policy goals without hindering the growth of the incipient DAS technology.

Distribution of management services in distributed antenna systems having a central unit and remote units configured to time-division multiplex (TDM) downlink and/or uplink management signals into time slots to form a TDM management frame signal. In this manner, collision will not occur between multiple management signals communicated over a common communications medium at the same time in the distributed antenna system. Collision detection and management mechanism can add design complexity, cost by requiring additional components, and require additional area on electronic boards. The TDM management frame signal may also be modulated at a carrier frequency before being combined with RF communications signals so that the combined signals are within a linear range of shared certain communications components to reduce cost and area.
