    摘要: A wireless repeater includes a receiver circuit implemented as an intermediate frequency (IF) subsampling receiver and a transmitter circuit implemented as a direct conversion (zero-IF) transmitter. The repeater further includes a reference receiver implemented as an IF subsampling receiver to sample a portion of the transmit signal prior to over-the-air transmission for use as the reference signal for channel estimation. Highly accurate channel estimation is obtained by using the reference signal from the reference receiver as the reference signal accounts for distortions in the transmitter circuit of the repeater. The repeater may include an echo canceller to cancel an estimated feedback amount from an input signal based on the channel estimation.

    摘要: A method of controlling gains within a repeater may include determining a power control set point value which controls a transmit power of a mobile station (MS), and receiving a downlink signal from a base station transceiver system (BTS). The method may further include measuring a power of the received downlink signal, and computing a power level of a signal expected at the uplink of the repeater, wherein the computing is based on the measured downlink power and the power control set point value. Finally, the method may further include adjusting a gain of at least one amplifier based on the computed power level. An apparatus for controlling gains in a repeater may include a baseband processor for performing the above method.

    摘要: A method in a wireless repeater selects one or more carriers out of all carriers for amplification and transmission. The non-selected carriers may be blocked to mitigate delay spread, uplink noise contribution or other effects on the repeater environment due to multiple repeaters.

    摘要: A wireless repeater has a receiving antenna for receiving an input signal and a transmitting antenna for transmitting an amplified signal where the input signal is a sum of a remote signal and a feedback signal. The repeater includes an echo canceller receiving the input signal and generating an echo cancelled signal by estimating a feedback channel between the transmitting antenna and the receiving antenna and cancelling a feedback signal estimate from the input signal, an amplifier for amplifying the echo cancelled signal and providing the amplified signal to the transmitting antenna, and a variable delay element receiving the echo cancelled signal and introducing a first delay to the echo cancelled signal. The first delay is selected to optimize the estimation of the feedback channel, thereby optimizing the cancellation of the feedback signal. The delayed echo cancelled signal is coupled to the echo canceller as a reference signal for estimating the feedback channel.
