Claim 15:
16. A wireless communication system comprising at least one repeater device configured to receive, on a surface of Earth, messages transmitted in a frequency band by transmitter devices and to retransmit the messages received in the frequency band to at least one receiver device, said at least one repeater device comprising:
a processing circuit configured to collect the messages transmitted by the transmitter devices and received by said at least one repeater device during a collection window; and
a transmitter to retransmit the messages received during the collection window to said at least one receiver device, the messages received during the collection window are retransmitted simultaneously to said at least one receiver device for at least two messages received non-simultaneously; and
wherein in response to a determination that a total instantaneous power necessary for simultaneously retransmitting all messages received during the collection window is higher than a predefined maximum power, only some of the messages received during the collection window are retransmitted simultaneously.
