METHOD AND APPARATUS OF OBTAINING TIMING IN A REPEATER

摘要

Methods and apparatuses are provided that include a mobile station modem (MSM) embedded in a repeater for enhancing repeater functionality. The MSM can determine a timing of a base station based on one or more signals received therefrom. Using the timing, the repeater can align timing to that of the base station, determine cyclic prefix of the received signals, cancel echo from received signals, switch between receiving uplink and downlink signals, transmit PRSs according to the timing, and/or the like.
