METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ENABLING SIGNAL PROCESSING IN A MULTIPLE ANTENNA REPEATER

摘要

Systems and methodologies are described that enable serving cell selection in a wireless network with a multiple antenna repeater operable to support MIMO communications. In one example, a repeater using orthogonal frequency division multiplexing on the downlink can be equipped to receive, by one or more receive antennas, one or more signals using one or more radio frequency (RF) isolation schemes. The repeater can further be equipped to amplify and delay the one or more signals using one or more combination schemes. Moreover, the repeater can be equipped to transmit, by one or more transmit antennas, the amplified and delayed one or more signals, wherein at least one of the one or more receive antennas or the one or more transmit antennas includes two or more antennas.
