Patent ID: 7873315

Claim:
A method of providing coverage within a wireless communications network, comprising: first receiving a donor signal and a transmitted version of an internally generated wideband pilot signal; configuring an adaptive filter signal to cancel the received transmitted version of the internally generated wideband pilot signal; second receiving the donor signal and a retransmitted version of the donor signal; and first canceling the retransmitted donor signal based on the configured adaptive filter signal, wherein the configuring step includes, second canceling the transmitted version of the internally generated wideband pilot signal based on the adaptive filter signal, determining whether the transmitted version of the internally generated wideband pilot signal has been sufficiently canceled, adjusting the adaptive filter signal and repeating the second canceling and determining steps if the determining step determines that the transmitted version of the internally generated wideband pilot signal has not been sufficiently canceled, and establishing the adaptive filter signal as the configured adaptive filter if the determining step determines that the transmitted version of the internally generated wideband pilot signal has been sufficiently canceled.
