1. A method for wireless coverage redundancy, comprising:

  • monitoring a communication backhaul in operative communication with a macro network;

    in response to the backhaul being available, facilitating communication between an access terminal (AT) and the macro network via the backhaul and determining whether an access point (AP) base station simultaneously operates as an AP and a repeater, wherein an authorized AT uses the AP base station as an AP while an unauthorized AT uses the AP base station as a repeater; and

    in response to the backhaul not being available, boosting a communication signal between the AT and a base station in operative communication with the macro network.
