Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

There is provided a method where a terminal amplifies an MBS signal that the terminal receives using a terminal in an MBS service, transmits the amplified signal to another terminal and controls it in order to overcome the fact it is not possible to provide high quality contents over a broad area due to interference signals between MBS zones, a terminal is used as a repeater at MBS transmission time only, and an output of a repeating signal of the terminal is controlled so that an excessive interference signal for another MBS area is not generated when the terminal operates as a repeater.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A terminal for receiving contents through a multicast and broadcasting service (MBS) communication network consisting of at least one base station (BS), the terminal for repeating through the MBS communication network comprising: a receiver to receive a wireless signal for the contents from a BS constituting the MBS communication network; a signal processor to amplify or convert the received wireless signal; and a transmitter to repeat the processed wire…
