Patent ID: 8059727

Claim:
A time division duplex (TDD) wireless repeater configuration, comprising: a first TDD wireless repeater capable of recognizing that it is operating in a Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) wireless network; a second TDD wireless repeater spatially separated from the first TDD wireless repeater; wherein the first TDD wireless repeater is capable of identifying a presence of the second TDD wireless repeater, entering into a mode with the second TDD wireless repeater to receive wireless transmissions in a synchronous manner with the second TDD wireless repeater on a same first frequency, and of re-transmitting the wireless transmissions in a manner that is synchronous with the second TDD wireless repeater on a same second frequency, and wherein after MIMO signals are detected on both the same first frequency and the same second frequency, the first TDD wireless repeater is further capable of simultaneously re-transmitting a first portion of the wireless transmissions while receiving a second portion of the wireless transmissions.
