Abstract:
One embodiment is directed to a repeater system configured for use with a base station that implements a wireless interface that makes use of control transmissions that are retransmittable (for example, LTE PRACH transmissions). The repeater system implements a simplified mute or squelch function that transitions the repeater circuitry from a muted state to an unmuted state in response to a received power level crossing a first threshold value in connection with a first control transmission. Although that first control transmission will be lost, the repeater circuitry is configured to remain in the unmuted state in order to handle a retransmitted control transmission and to handle any associated subsequent control and user transmissions. The repeater system can be implemented as a single-node repeater and/or a distributed antenna system. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Claim (Index 38):
The method of  claim 37 , wherein the transition process for operating the repeater circuitry in the unmuted state comprises at least one of:\n using a confirmation mechanism to confirm that the repeater circuitry should be operated in the unmuted state that causes the repeater circuitry to be operated in the unmuted state if the confirmation mechanism confirms that the repeater circuitry should be operated in the unmuted state; and operating the repeater circuitry in the unmuted state without the use of a confirmation mechanism to confirm that the repeater circuitry should be operated in the unmuted state; and wherein the transition process for operating the repeater circuitry in the muted state comprises at least one of:\n using a confirmation mechanism to confirm that the repeater circuitry should be operated in the muted state that causes the repeater circuitry to be operated in the muted state if the confirmation mechanism confirms that the repeater circuitry should be operated in the muted state; and \n operating the repeater circuitry in the muted state without the use of a confirmation mechanism to confirm that the repeater circuitry should be operated in the muted state.
