Method and system for controlling remote in a TDD optical repeater
First Claim
1. A method for transmitting data to an Access Point (AP) and a Mobile Station (MS) in a Time Division Duplex (TDD) optical repeater, comprising:
- (a) generating a control frame by a main donor for controlling a remote, upon receipt of data from the AP, and transmitting the control frame downstream to the remote by the main donor during a non-downlink transmission period in which the MS is otherwise permitted exclusive uplink transmission to the AP via TDD protocol;
(b) analyzing, by the remote, the control frame received from the main donor;
(c) detecting, by the remote, sync information about a downlink signal and an uplink signal and remote control information from the analyzed control frame in step (b); and
(d) performing, by the remote, a control operation according to the detected remote control information.

Abstract
A method and apparatus for transmitting data to an Access Point (AP) and a Mobile Station (MS) in a Time Division Duplex (TDD) optical repeater. A main donor generates a control frame for controlling a remote, upon receipt of data from the AP, and transmits the control frame to the remote during a non-downlink transmission period. The remote analyzes the control frame received from the main donor, detects sync information about a downlink signal and an uplink signal, and remote control information from the analyzed control frame, performs a control operation according to the detected remote control information, and generates a status frame for notifying the main donor of the status of the remote upon receipt of data from the MS. The status frame is transmitted from the remote to the main donor during a non-uplink transmission period.

11. An apparatus for transmitting data to an Access Point (AP) and a Mobile Station (MS) in a Time Division Duplex (TDD) optical repeater, comprising:
-
a remote; a main donor in communication with said remote, said main donor comprising a control frame generator for generating a control frame for controlling the remote upon receipt of a downlink data signal from the AP, and for transmitting the control frame to the remote during a non-downlink transmission period in which the MS is otherwise permitted exclusive uplink transmission to the AP via TDD protocol; and wherein said remote comprising control signal analyzer/generator for analyzing the control frame generated by the control frame generator and received from the main donor, a control signal generator for performing a control operation according to the analyzed control frame, for generating a status frame for notifying the main donor of a status of the remote, and for transmitting the status frame to the main donor during a non-uplink transmission period in which the AP is otherwise permitted exclusive downlink transmission to the MS via TDD protocol. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
