LEAKY REPEATER ACCESS NODE
First Claim
1. A leaky repeater access node (LRAN) comprising:
- a first directional antenna and a second directional antenna, each to transmit and receive signals in at least one first frequency band;
a third antenna to transmit and receive signals in a second frequency band; and
first analog components to split a first signal received by the first directional antenna into a first portion and a second portion, wherein the first analog components amplify the first portion and provide the amplified first portion to the second directional antenna, and the first analog components convert the second portion to the second frequency band and provide the converted second portion to the third antenna.

Abstract
A leaky repeater access node (LRAN) includes a first directional antenna and a second directional antenna to transmit and receive signals in at least one first frequency band, and a third antenna to transmit and receive signals in a second frequency band. The LRAN also includes first analog components to split a first signal received by the first directional antenna into a first portion and a second portion. The first analog components amplify the first portion and provide the amplified first portion to the second directional antenna. The first analog components also convert the second portion to the second frequency band and provide the converted second portion to the third antenna.
