Abstract:
1. A repeater comprising: repeater circuitry comprising: forward link circuitry configured to receive and repeat wireless signals received at the repeater from a network device, the forward link circuitry comprising at least one forward link amplifier to amplify at least a portion of the wireless signals received at the repeater from the network device; reverse link circuitry configured to receive and repeat wireless signals received at the repeater from a mobile device for transmission to the network device, the reverse link circuitry comprising at least one reverse link amplifier to amplify at least a portion of the wireless signals received at the repeater from the mobile device; and a control module comprising: a mobile station modem which receives signals from the forward link circuitry through a wired connection and is configured to communicate with the network device independent of the repeated wireless signals, said wired connection comprising an attenuator to attenuate said received signals from the forward link circuitry, wherein said wired connection further comprises a coupler to transfer at least a portion of forward link power of said received signals from the forward link circuitry to the attenuator; and a microcontroller in communication with the modem, the microcontroller configured to receive information indicative of communications between the network device and the modem, the microcontroller further configured to generate reverse link control information using the information indicative of communications between the network device and the modem.
