Abstract: A frequency translating repeater (200) for use in a WLAN environment includes an in-band management link. A signal received on an antenna (300) is split to provide signal detection in a detection and control unit (385) wherein detection is performed by detectors (370, 371) filters (375, 376), converters (380, 381) and a processor (385). Delay is added using delay lines (360, 361). The in-band signal envelope may be modulated with variable gain amplifier (330) and demodulated with detectors (370, 371) to establish the management link with higher protocol layer capability. Alternatively, a modem function at least partially compliant to 802.11 modulation may be used in parallel with the frequency translating repeater.

Abstract: A frequency translating repeater (250) for use in a time division duplex radio protocol communications system includes a processor (260), a bus (261), a memory (262), an RF section (264), and an integrated station device (264). An access point (210) is detected based on information transmitted frequency channels using a protocol. Detection is initiated automatically during a power-on sequence or by activating an input device such as a button. Frequency channels are scanned for a beacon signal and an access point chosen as a preferred access point based on a metric such as power level.

Abstract: Un repetidor (200) que facilita la comunicacion inalambrica entre un primer dispositivo de comunicacion (100) y un segundo dispositivo de comunicacion (105) en una red inalambrica, utilizando un protocolo de comunicacion en duplex por division de tiempo para la transmision de datos. El repetidor (200) incluye un receptor (310), (315) para recibir una senal en cualquiera de al menos dos frecuencias de comunicacion bidireccionales, de manera simultanea. Un detector de la senal (362) esta acoplado de manera operativa al receptor (300), (310), (315) para determinar si la senal esta presente en al menos una de las dos frecuencias bidireccionales. Un convertidor de frecuencia (320), (321), (323), (324), (360), (361) es para convertir la senal presente en una de las frecuencias bidireccionales a una senal convertida en la otra de las frecuencias bidireccioales. Un transmisor (300), (325), (330), (335), (345), (350) es para transmitir la senal convertida a la otra de las frecuencias bidireccionales.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for operating a frequency translating repeater in a wireless local are network (WLAN) having one or more repeaters (200, 204), a network protocol for communicating between one or more base units (100) and one or more client units (104, 105). A first frequency channel may be used for receiving and transmitting, the network protocol defining multiple operating frequencies monitored to detect a transmitted signal. The signal is characterized to determine if associated with the base units. A second frequency channel selected for use by one of the repeaters for retransmission of additional signals based on the characterization.

Abstract: A frequency translating repeater (200) for use in a time division duplex rad io protocol communications system includes an automatic gain control feature. Specifically, a received signal (330) is split to provide signal detection paths (331, 332) wherein detection is performed by amplifiers (301, 302) filters (311, 312), converters (313, 314) and a processor (315). Delay is added using analog circuits such as SAW filters (307, 308, 309, 310) and gai n adjustment provided by gain control elements (303, 304, 305, 306).
