主权项 1. A method for detecting uplink capacity of a repeater within a wireless network, the repeater having a server antenna and a donor antenna, the method performed on a computer have at least one processor, the method comprising: determining, by the at least one processor, the maximum gain of the server antenna in a downlink direction, the determination performed in response to transmissions in the uplink direction being turned off; measuring the uplink transmission power level at an input to the server antenna of the repeater; measuring the uplink transmission power level at an input to the donor antenna of the repeater; determining, by the at least one processor, whether the uplink transmission power level measured at the donor input is greater than, or equal to, the maximum uplink power level; calculating, by the at least one processor, the uplink gain based on the difference between the uplink transmission power level at the donor input and the uplink transmission power level at the server input; determining, by the at least one processor, whether the calculated uplink gain is less than the maximum gain in a downlink direction; and, generating, responsive to a determination that the calculated uplink gain is less than the maximum gain in the downlink direction, a notification of a power error condition.
