Abstract:
1. A method for selecting an installation position of a link antenna of an in-building RF repeater using a terminal, the method comprising: measuring, by the terminal connected to the link antenna through a predetermined access cable, a communication state value in a non-slot mode representing operations during idle timeslots by using directivity of the link antenna at a predetermined position within a target area for installing the link antenna, wherein the terminal has an omni-directional antenna; comparing a previously measured communication state value with the communication state value that is measured by repeating the measuring step at another position within the target area; converting, by the terminal, the communication state value into one of a plurality of states, each of the plurality of states corresponding to the measured communication state value; displaying, on a display of the terminal, at least one of (i) the communication state value and (ii) the converted states; and selecting the position with the greatest communication state value as a position for installing the link antenna.
