Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A repeater system for relaying wireless communications between a base station and one or more devices having: a repeater to relay network information from a base station to one or more devices; a donor antenna configured to receive and/or transmit network information between the repeater and the base station; a power supply external to the repeater; and, a server antenna integrated with the power supply, the server antenna configured to receive and/or transmit network information between the repeater and the one or more devices.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A repeater system for relaying wireless communications between a base station and one or more devices comprising: a repeater configured to relay network information from a base station to one or more devices; a donor antenna configured to receive and/or transmit network information between the repeater and the base station; a power supply external to the repeater; and, a server antenna integrated with the power supply, the server antenna configured to receive and/or transmit network information between the repeater and the one or more devices. 2 . The repeater system of claim 1 , wherein the server antenna is configured to increase isolation between the server antenna and the donor antenna to reduce the effect of coupling loss between the server antenna and the donor antenna. 3 . The repeater system of claim 1 , wherein the server antenna is configured to provide increased coverage in the space where the repeater is deployed. 4 . The repeater system of claim 1 , wherein the server antenna has a radiation pattern that is configured to provide increased coverage in the space where the repeater is deployed. 5 . The repeater system of claim 4 , wherein the power supply has one or more metal reflectors configured to steer the radiation pattern of the server antenna. 6 . The repeater system of claim 4 , wherein the power supply has a controller in electronic communication with the server antenna, the controller configured to alter the radiation pattern of the server antenna.
