Repeater for extending range of time division duplex communication system
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A repeater device for a wireless network comprising:
- a detector, for determining if a signal is being received on a monitored radio frequency channel;
a delay for delaying said received signal while detecting same, the delay being at least equal to a time need for the detector to determine if a signal is being received; and
a transmitter, for re-transmitting the delayed received signal.

Abstract
A repeater that extends the range of a wireless communication system especially one using Time Division Duplex (TDD) protocols. The device preferably translates signals received on a first radio frequency channel to a second radio frequency channel. The repeater preferably monitors one or more channels for transmissions. When a transmission on one channel is detected, the repeater is configured to translate the received signal to another channel where it is then transmitted. The device thus solves a problem of isolating input and output signal from one another.
