Multi-Standard In Building Mobile Radio Access Network

A method for determining a power level for a radio head within a structure that at least reduces radio frequency (RF) interference between said radio head and at least one other radio head within said structure, comprising:

• transmitting from said radio head at least a first signal at a first power level, a second signal at a second power level, a third signal at a third power level, and a fourth signal at a fourth power level;
• receiving by said radio head reflections of at least said first and second signals off of at least one vertical surface within said structure;
• receiving by said radio head reflections of at least said third and fourth signals off of at least one horizontal surface within said structure;
• transmitting by said radio head data associated with said reflections of said first, second, third, and fourth signals to a centralized device within said structure;
• using by said centralized device at least portions of said data associated with said reflections of said first, second, third, and fourth signals to determine said power level of said radio head that at least reduces RF interference between said radio head and said at least one other radio head within said structure;
• and
• transmitting said power level to said radio head;
• wherein said radio head uses an RF signal at said power level to communicate with at least one wireless device within said structure.

A mobile radio network for a structure, comprising:

• a centralized device in communication with at least one service provider radio access network;
• and
• a plurality of radio heads, each one of said plurality of radio heads having a plurality of antennas, being in communication with said centralized device, and configured to:
• transmit first and third signals at a first power level, and second and fourth signals at a second power level;
• receive reflections of said first and second signals off of at least one vertical surface within said structure;
• receive reflections of said third and fourth signals off of at least one horizontal surface within said structure;
• and
• transmit data associated with said reflections of said first, second, third, and fourth signals to said centralized device;
• wherein said centralized device is configured to:
• use at least portions of said data associated with said reflections of said first, second, third, and fourth signals to determine a power level for a corresponding one of said plurality of radio heads;
• and
• transmit said power level to said corresponding one of said plurality of radio heads, said power level being used by said corresponding one of said plurality of radio heads to communicate with a wireless device within said structure.
