Abstract:
An antenna control algorithm is disclosed. Using this algorithm, the repeater will select an optimum antenna configuration at start-up. Once the configuration is selected, the system will keep this configuration until the performance metrics for this configuration drops below a specified level. At this point, the system will scan all antenna configurations to determine a new optimum configuration. In an alternative implementation, the repeater will select an optimum antenna configuration at start-up. Once the configuration is selected, the system will keep this configuration until the performance metrics for this configuration drops below a specified level. At this point, the system will start scanning antenna configurations to find a new configuration that yields a performance better than the required minimum performance level. This configuration would typically be faster than an optimum configuration as not all possible options need to be tested.

Claim (Index 7):
A method for managing the beam direction of a donor antenna of a mobile repeater for communicating with a base station, the method comprising:\n setting an initial antenna configuration for the donor antenna, the initial antenna configuration having a beam pattern comprising a plurality of beams, each beam of the plurality of beams having a direction from the donor antenna of the mobile repeater; measuring a signal strength or signal quality for the initial antenna configuration; determining one or more other antenna configurations based on the signal strength or signal quality, of the other antenna configurations having a different beam pattern of the plurality of beams; ranking the initial and other antenna configurations based on the signal strength or signal quality; and selecting an optimum antenna configuration of the donor antenna of the mobile repeater according to the ranking, the optimum antenna configuration having an optimum beam pattern for communicating with the base station.
