摘要:
A repeater system includes a first repeater device to receive a first beam of radio frequency (RF) signal from a first network node, and a second repeater device to receive a second beam of RF signal from the first network node. The first repeater device controls the second repeater device to provide the first beam and the second beam of RF signal to a second network node. A plurality of signal parameters is selected at the first and second repeater devices for a first beam and a second beam of RF signal, respectively. The first repeater device establishes an additional link with the second repeater device, where based on the additional link, a first data stream carried by the first beam of RF signal is provided to the second network node through the first repeater device as well as the second repeater device.

A signal booster device comprises at least one first antenna for communicating with a mobile, at least one second antenna for communicating with a base station, at least one amplifier and at least one power detector. The signal booster device adjusts a gain between the at least two antennas by altering an amplification factor. A normal operation gain is achieved by setting the amplification factor to a first amplification factor. An oscillation is detected by determining at least one first signal power, increasing the operation gain of the signal booster device by setting the amplification factor to a second amplification factor wherein the second amplification factor is higher than the first amplification factor, determining at least one second signal power, correlating the at least one first signal power with the at least one second signal power; and determining whether a status of the signal booster device is oscillation or normal based upon the result of the correlation.

An interference cancellation repeater according to the inventive concept includes: a first transmission/reception processing unit configured to adjust a gain of a radio frequency (RF) input signal input via a link antenna communicatively coupled to a base station; an interference canceller configured to cancel and output an interference signal from an output signal of the first transmission/reception processing unit; and a gain controller configured to extract a signal with constant magnitude regardless of a change in user traffic from the output signal of the interference canceller, and to adjust the gain of the RF input signal to a predetermined level by controlling the first transmission/reception processing unit based on the extracted signal.

A method for controlling gain in a wireless repeater includes using two or more gain control metrics indicative of stability of the repeater, at least two of the gain control metrics having different integration lengths, where the integration length is the sum of the coherent integration time and the non coherent integration time, and controlling a variable gain value of the repeater based on one or more of the selected gain control metric(s) where the gain control metric(s) to use is selected based on the stability of the repeater.

Methods and apparatus for estimating a loop delay value (Ndelay) in an interference cancellation repeater are presented. For example, a method may include setting a repeater gain to an initial gain value, setting a delay parameter to an initial time value, and measuring a loop gain associated with the delay parameter and the repeater gain by detecting a feedback signal with an echo canceller disabled. The method may further include determining whether the measured loop gain is larger than a previously measured loop gain, and if so, designating the delay parameter as the loop delay value (Ndelay); and decrementing the delay parameter when the measured loop gain is not larger than the previously measured loop gain, and when the delay parameter is not at a final time value. The method may iterate until the delay parameter is less than or equal to the final time value.

A method for determining isolation status of the RF repeater is provided. A modem in the repeater registers with a base transceiver station (BTS). Uplink output levels of a donor RF transceiver are calibrated and stored in the modem. The modem is synchronized to a BTS transmission received at the donor RF transceiver and the synchronization information is provided to a server RF transceiver of the repeater. Isolation detection and measurement can then be performed between donor transmit antenna and receive server antenna of the RF repeater and the automatic gain control parameter of donor RF transceiver and server RF transceiver are adjusted based upon the isolation detection and measurement value. The isolation and detection can be implemented in a co-processor coupled to the donor and server transceivers.

The interference at the receiver is feed back to the relay node.

A repeater is configured so as to detect feedback oscillation conditions by detecting a gain parameter, and responding to the detected gain parameter by reducing the gain when the loop gain approaches unity. When used in a framed shared channel wireless communication systems, feedback oscillation conditions the loop gain of the repeater may be adjusted so as to permit operation of the repeater outside of the oscillation range. The invention is particularly useful when the repeater is used in a framed shared channel wireless communication system.
摘要:
A method for computing a gain control metric used in controlling gain in a wireless repeater operates to store correlation and normalization values associated with the gain control metric for the previous N samples in registers. For each new sample of the gain control input signal, the correlation and normalization values are computed by discarding the multiplication terms of the obsolete sample and adding the multiplication terms of the new sample to the stored correlation and normalization values. In this manner, the complexity of the computation is greatly reduced and the complexity of the computation does not increase with the integration length.
摘要:
A method for monitoring feedback loop stability in a wireless repeater includes measuring a gain control metric in the feedback loop of the repeater periodically for a given time period where the gain control metric is indicative of a loop gain of the feedback loop of the repeater; and monitoring the magnitude of the gain control metric to determine the stability of the feedback loop of the repeater. In operation, a large magnitude of the gain control metric indicates instability in the feedback loop of the repeater.
