Repeater system and method for indoor distribution of cellular mmwave signals.
Patent number: 12451957
Abstract: A repeater device having a donor radio antenna that captures publicly broadcast synchronization signals from an outdoor 5G Radio Access Network (RAN) node, and a controller that decodes the captured publicly broadcast synchronization signals from the outdoor 5G RAN node. The controller further synchronizes with the decoded publicly broadcast synchronization signals, to align a frame structure of the donor radio antenna to a frame structure of the outdoor 5G RAN node, independent of additional signaling and explicit coordination from the outdoor 5G RAN node. The repeater device further includes a relay radio antenna that communicates the synchronized publicly broadcast synchronization signals to a first set of indoor relay devices. The controller further re-configures access beams, from the relay radio antenna to match UE directions of one or more indoor user equipment (UEs), independent of the additional signaling and the explicit coordination from the outdoor 5G RAN node.
