Configuration of a Repeater
First Claim
1. A method for configuring a frequency repeater in a wireless environment, the method comprising:
- configuring the frequency repeater with a service provider'"'"'s identity,positioning the frequency repeater in a location wherein the frequency repeater receives a signal transmitted by a service provider matching the pre-configured identity;
receiving a message from the service provider defining a set of frequency channels with available service;
configuring a digital filter to pass exclusively the received set of frequencies; and
repeating the passed frequencies.

Abstract
Methods and systems are provided to configure a frequency repeater. The frequency repeater is configured with an identity of a service provider and receives a message that defines a set of frequencies to be repeated, the frequencies are associated with a service provider that matches the preconfigured identity. A digital filter receives an incoming signal from the service provider, and filters and repeats the frequencies defined in the received message. The frequency receiver can also determine a set of frequencies to be filtered and repeated based on a cell search procedure performed with a modem that resides in the repeater. A policy established by the service provider can also be utilized to facilitate defining the set of figures to be repeated. By utilizing a signal quality metric and an isolation metric associated, with the performance of a receive and transmit antenna utilized by the repeater, the set of frequencies to be filtered and repeated can be adapted in real time.
