Backhaul link for distributed antenna system

A method, comprising:

• facilitating, by a system comprising a processor, receipt of a first guided wave via a first dielectric waveguide coupled to a power line;
• converting, by the system, the first guided wave to a first electronic signal;
• supplying, by the system, the first electronic signal to a base station device;
• receiving, by the system, a second electronic signal from the base station device;
• converting, by the system, the second electronic signal to a second guided wave;
• and
• facilitating, by the system, transmission of the second guided wave via a second dielectric waveguide coupled to the power line.

A method, comprising:

• receiving, by a device including a processor, a first surface wave transmission via a first dielectric waveguide coupled to a power line;
• converting, by the device, the first surface wave transmission into an electronic transmission;
• extracting, by the device, a communication signal from the electronic transmission;
• sending, by the device, the communication signal to a base station device;
• and
• transmitting, by the device, the electronic transmission as a second surface wave transmission via a second dielectric waveguide coupled to the power line, wherein the first surface wave transmission and the second surface wave transmission are at a frequency of at least 30 GHz.
