DISTRIBUTED ANTENNA SYSTEM AND C-RAN SYSTEM UTILIZING SMART DETECTION OF SURROUNDING ENVIRONMENT

In one example, a system comprises a central unit and a radiating point located remotely from the central unit and communicatively coupled to the central unit. The radiating point is configured to provide radio frequency signals to a coverage zone via one or more antennas. The system further comprises a radar sensor communicatively coupled to the radiating point and configured to capture image data in the coverage zone of the radiating point, wherein the radar sensor includes a plurality of transmitters and receivers coupled to an antenna array. One or more components of the system are configured to determine user detection data for users in the coverage zone based on the image data captured by the radar sensor and adjust the power consumption of the radiating point based on the user detection data.
