Method and system for deploying a wireless repeater
First Claim
1. A method of dynamically deploying wireless repeaters in a communication network, comprising the steps of:
- establishing a first wireless repeater serving as a communication node;
evaluating quality of a signal dynamically among the first wireless repeater and at least one additional repeater dynamically deployed in the communication network;
selectively entering a vertical unit for signal reception in at least one of the additional repeaters.

Abstract
A method (200) of dynamically deploying wireless repeaters in a communication network can include establishing (205) a first wireless repeater serving as a communication node, evaluating (210) quality of a signal dynamically among at least one additional repeater being deployed in the communication network and the communication node, and selectively entering (215) a vertical unit in one of the additional repeaters being deployed. Evaluating the quality can include measuring (211) a signal strength from other repeaters in the communication system or measuring (212) a signal strength from a nearest repeater among the other repeaters in the system. Evaluating can also include pinging (213) the communication node. The vertical units can be entered as an input using any number of input devices including, but not limited to a keypad, a rotary switch (22 and 24), a voice recognition system or any combination thereof.

8. A dynamically deployable wireless repeater in a communication network, comprising:
-
a transceiver; and
a processor coupled to the transceiver, wherein the processor is programmed to;
evaluate a quality of a signal dynamically between the transceiver and a first repeater in the communication network serving as a communication node and between the transceiver and at least one other repeater dynamically deployed in the communication network; and
selectively receive and store an input indicative of a vertical unit. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
