NON-FREQUENCY TRANSLATING REPEATER WITH DETECTION AND MEDIA ACCESS CONTROL

摘要

A non-frequency translating repeater ( 110, 210, 300 ) for use in a time division duplex (TDD) radio protocol communications system includes detection retransmission and automatic gain control. Detection is performed by detectors ( 309, 310 ) and a processor ( 313 ). Detection can be overridden by processor ( 313 ) using logic elements ( 314 ). Antennae ( 220, 230 ) having various form factors can be used to couple a base station ( 222 ) to a subscriber terminal ( 232 ) which can be located in a sub-optimal location such as deep inside a building or the like.
