    Abstract: An embodiment of the invention provides a transmissive passive repeater having two or more antenna arrays, each array comprised of a plurality of antenna elements. Each antenna array has an associated region. An aperture is defined by the antenna arrays with which energy at respective antenna arrays passes between each of the regions. Another embodiment of the invention provides a reflective passive repeater having an aperture. Energy received at the aperture is reflected back from the aperture. The aperture is configured to provide a conformal mapping between two regions as determined by complex coupling by individual antenna elements.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are provided for graphically displaying the noise level on each WLAN channel, along with the arrangement of other (neighboring) wireless host devices on each channel with their respective signal strengths as a distance indicator. As a result, collected information may be gathered and displayed intuitively to allow a user to quickly assess the environment and manually configure the wireless host device. In addition, methods and apparatuses are provided for suggesting to a user or automatically selecting a wireless host device configuration based on the noise level on each WLAN channel and the arrangement of other wireless host devices on each channel with consideration of their respective signal strengths. As a result, an optimal configuration for a deployed wireless host device may be determined and consistently suggested or automatically configured.

    Abstract: Various embodiments disclose systems and methods for employing a Sub1G signal (e.g. a signal in the range of approximately 500 Mhz or 800 mHz) for use with internal and/or external components of various user devices. The Sub1G region may provide a path loss advantage over traditional 2.4 and 5 Ghz systems because of the lower frequency in free-space path loss model. Sub1G may also present less interference compared to 2.4 GHz (e.g., better QoS for applications such as VOIP, Gaining, etc.). In some of the disclosed embodiments, Sub1G may be employed using current 2.4G or 5G Wireless LAN chipset with RF Up/Down Converters. In some embodiments, the Sub1G approach may be used to create a Long Range Bridge, Long Range Extender, Long Range Client, Long Range Hotspot, etc.

    Abstract translation: 各种实施例公开了用于使用与各种用户装置的内部和/或外部组件一起使用的Sub1G信号(例如,大约500Mhz或800mHz的信号)的系统和方法。 由于自由空间路径损耗模型的频率较低,Sub1G区域可能比传统的2.4和5 GHz系统提供路径损耗优势。 与2.4GHz相比,Sub1G还可以呈现更少的干扰(例如,对于诸如VOIP,Gaining等应用的更好的QoS)。 在一些所公开的实施例中,可以使用具有RF上/下转换器的当前2.4G或5G无线LAN芯片组来采用Sub1G。 在一些实施例中,Sub1G方法可用于创建长距离桥,长距离扩展器,远程客户端,远程热点等。
