Abstract: Embodiments of a repeater environment can be operative to deploy a feedback cancellation loop that is adaptively coupled with an antenna array such that a selected metric can be applied to the antenna array and feedback cancellation loop combination to improve signal integrity and amplification. Illustratively, the feedback cancellation loop of the exemplary repeater can be adapted by a metric that operatively adapts weights provided by performing a selected linear algebra technique to the feedback cancellation loop such that the metric can be indicative of the level of transmitter signal present at a receive and can be derived based on performing a correlation between the transmitted signal and the receiver signal. Further, operatively, the exemplary repeater can maintain a delay sufficient to preferably ensure that transmitted signal is de-correlated with the desired receiver signal, and time aligned and correlated with the feedback leakage signal.

Abstract: A wireless communication node, such as a repeater, including a frequency translating repeater, a physical layer (PHY) repeater, time divisional duplex repeater (TDD) and the like, is configured with a pair of directional patch antennae and an omnidirectional antenna. The patch antennae can be selected depending on the orientation of the repeater package to communicate with a station such as an access point or a base station. The omni-directional antenna can be directed toward another station such as a client. The patch antennae and the omni-directional antenna can be orthogonally polarized to increase isolation and reduce electromagnetic coupling. Multiple antennae can be used in multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) configurations.

Abstract: A repeater (100) is configured to selectively generate and transmit control message packets between wireless stations (302, 304) on both a transmit side (111) and a receive side (112) of the repeater (100). The repeater (100) manages and manipulates an end to end protocol of the control message packets in a manner that does not change media access control (MAC) addresses of the end to end protocol so as to achieve a network objective, such as preventing other transmitters from transmitting while the repeater (100) repeats a signal from its receive side (111) to its transmit side (112). The control message management is applicable to analog signal repeaters as well as digital repeaters, such as symbol to symbol or packet to packet repeaters, in which physical layer control message management is performed.

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.
