Disclosed herein is a system comprising a first backhaul node, a second backhaul node, and multiple sites that each comprise a respective node configured to maintain a first communication link with the first backhaul node and a second communication link with the second backhaul node, operate in a first mode in which the respective node engages in communication with the first backhaul node over the first communication link and does not engage in communication with the second backhaul node over the second communication link, detect a triggering event associated with the first communication link, and in response to detecting the triggering event, dynamically switch from operating in the first mode to operating in a second mode in which the respective node engages in communication with the second backhaul node over the second communication link and does not engage in communication with the first backhaul node over the first communication link.

A wireless communication system includes a base station, a customer premise equipment (CPE) and a repeater. The repeater includes a down-link circuit and an up-link circuit. The down-link circuit includes a first receiving antenna array and a first transmitting antenna array, and the up-link circuit includes a second receiving antenna array and a second transmitting antenna array. The down-link circuit is separated from the up-link circuit with a first predetermined distance.

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for determining a spatial direction of a beam for retransmitting a wireless signal. A method that may be performed by a repeater includes receiving, at the repeater, a signal transmitted by a first node, the signal carrying data intended to be received by a second node. The method may also include determining, by the repeater, a beam direction for retransmitting the received signal to the second node, the beam direction determined based on an object detection process performed by the repeater. The method may also include transmitting, by the repeater to the second node, an amplified retransmission of the received signal using a beam having the determined beam direction.

Aspects of the disclosure relate to millimeter wave (mmWave) device discovery for relay communication using pseudo-omnidirectional beams. A first user equipment (UE) may transmit a synchronization signal over each pseudo-omnidirectional beam to enable a second UE to discover a presence of the second UE within a range of the first UE. Upon the occurrence of an external event, a base station may either trigger a beam training procedure with the second UE to establish a relay link between the first and second UEs or broadcast a message to all UEs requesting a relay link be established with the first UE. The first and second UEs may then select a directional beam pair link (BPL) for the relay link and establish the relay link to enable information to be relayed between the base station and the first UE via the relay link.

A method of transmitting and receiving a plurality of Link 16 messages on a single subnet in a single timeslot includes a transmitting terminal packaging the Link 16 messages into an envelope enhanced throughput message (envelope LET message) and transmitting the envelope LET message to a receiving terminal, followed by the receiving terminal unpacking the Link 16 messages from the envelope LET message, restoring them to their original form, and presenting them to a host. Modification of the host is not required. The Link 16 messages can be relayed messages, and the transmitting terminal can be a relay terminal. The Link 16 messages can be concatenated within the envelope LET message, or another lossless packaging algorithm such as lossless compression can be applied. The terminals can be JTRS terminals, the Link 16 messages can be 115 kbps messages, and the envelope LET message can be a 2 Mbps LET message.

An active repeater device includes a primary sector and one or more secondary sectors, receives a first beam of input RF signals. A first set of analog baseband signals, are generated based on received first beam of input RF signals. The first set of analog baseband signals are converted to a first set of coded data signals and control information is extracted from the first set of coded data signals by decoding only a header portion of the first set of coded data signals without demodulation of data portion of the first set of coded data signals. Based on the extracted control information, the first set of coded data signals are transmitted as beams of output RF signals to remote user equipment. The transmission is independent of demodulation of the data portion within the active repeater device to reduce latency for transmission of the first set of coded data signals.

A system, method and computer program product for optimizing an antenna pattern for a booster, in which input signals from different operators are transmitted at different carrier frequencies within an operating bandwidth. An input bandwidth of a plurality of input signals are monitored at an input of the booster, the input bandwidth being within the operating bandwidth. One or more peak signal levels of the plurality of input signals within the input bandwidth are detected. Each of the detected one or more peak signal levels of the plurality of input signals at the input of the booster are then adjusted, such that a peak signal level of each of the plurality of input signals are substantially equal.

A method and system for improving link performance for a user terminal (UT) in a satellite network is disclosed. The method including: providing a first beam servicing a first service area that is adjacent a second service area serviced by a second beam; transmitting, from the first service area, a transmission via the first beam to a receiver via a satellite; beamforming the first beam and the second beam at the receiver; extracting the first beam and a remnant signal of the first beam from the second beam; and processing the first beam and the remnant signal to receive the transmission, wherein the remnant signal may include a portion of the transmission received by a second beam antenna of the satellite.

A repeater system comprises a repeater with a donor port, a server port, and first and second direction amplification paths to amplify one or more RF communication signals coupled between the server and donor ports. A signal splitter is communicatively coupled to the repeater and has first and second signal splitter ports. Signal splitter paths are coupled to the signal splitter ports. The repeater system can be configured to communicate the RF communication signals to a server antenna device on each signal splitter path with a different gain relative to the donor port.
