Abstract:
A dynamic repeater apparatus for interconnecting communication channels and subchannels between an uplink signal and a downlink signal, comprising:an input multiplexer for receiving the uplink signal and for producing at least a first channel signal therefrom; a subchannel routing switch matrix for receiving the uplink signal, for separating at least one channel signal into at least one subchannel, for routing the subchannel from a selected uplink subchannel into a selected downlink subchannel, and for recombining the selected downlink subchannels into a second channel signal; and a channel routing switch matrix, coupled to the input multiplexer through a first input and coupled to the subchannel routing switch matrix through a second input, for routing the first channel signal into a first downlink channel signal and the second channel signal into a second downlink channel signal; and an output multiplexer for collecting the first and second downlink channels and combining them into the downlink signal.
