Original Abstract Submitted

An optical repeater has signal processors which detect switching between uplink and downlink signals of a first group of connected base stations. A multiplexer/demultiplexer unit is between the signal processors and a first plurality of remote wireless units. A timing comparator acquires signal switching times for the first group of base stations, calculates adjustments for synchronizing the switching transmission of a downlink signal to a remote unit based on both internal switching times and external switching times for a second group of base stations connected to another optical repeater. A monitoring controller acquires detected delay amounts for a first plurality of remote units, and calculates timing adjustments for synchronizing transmissions from the first group of remote units and another group of remote units connected to the other optical repeater based on the detected delay amounts and information from the other optical repeater.
