REPEATER GAIN CONTROL METHOD AND APPARATUS

摘要

This document proposes soft activation and inactivation of (network) repeaters that are, for example, actuated on an as-needed basis. With soft activation, repeater gain ramps upward at controlled rate, thereby avoiding rapid changes in interference caused by the repeater. Likewise, with soft inactivation, repeater gain ramps downward at a controlled rate. Soft activation inactivation results in more gradual changes in the interference contribution of the repeater, thereby improving the performance of interference-compensating radio receivers operating in proximity to the repeater.
