REPEATER METHODS AND APPARATUS
20220239458 · 2022-07-28 ·

Methods and apparatus for implementing a repeater are described. In various embodiments the repeater determines uplink/downlink timing information either from information broadcast from a base station or from monitoring received signals and/or gaps between received signals. In various embodiments while the repeater may decode control information to determine uplink/downlink time periods, user data is not decoded and re-encoded. In various embodiments interference between uplink and downlink circuitry is reduced or minimized by controlling gains, combining weights and/or power to amplifiers in the repeater based on the mode of operation. A stored information can include sets of different weights and/or parameters for the mode of operation and/or beam forming antenna pattern in use at a given time.

PHASE NOISE MANAGEMENT OF OUT-OF-BAND REPEATER

A first wireless device transmits one or more transmissions for a second wireless device to a repeater for repetition to the second wireless device; adjusts a repeater operation based on a phase noise in transmission between the first wireless device and the repeater; and communicates with at least one of the repeater or the second wireless device based on the adjusted repeater operation. A repeater receives from a first wireless device, a request for the repeater to report a phase noise in transmissions between the first wireless device and the repeater for repetition with a second wireless device; and transmits a report of the phase noise to the first wireless device based on the request. A repeater receives, from a first wireless device, a transmission for repetition with a second wireless device; and transmits the repetition of the transmission to the second wireless device with a phase noise compensation.

Interference mitigation techniques in directional beamforming repeaters

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described that provide a repeater for beamforming a received signal at a first radio frequency via one or more scan angles or beamforming directions and then retransmitting and beamforming the transmitted signal at the first radio frequency via one or more scan angles or beamforming directions. Repeaters may perform heterodyning or downconverting on the received signal to reduce a frequency of the signal from the first frequency to an intermediate frequency (IF), and then band-pass filter the IF signal around a desired center frequency. The repeater may then heterodyne or upconvert the filtered IF signal back to the first frequency for the retransmission of the signal.
