Abstract
Technology for a repeater is disclosed. The repeater can include a signal path that includes a digital filter. The repeater can include a controller. The controller can receive a multi-channel downlink signal. The controller can digitize the multi-channel downlink signal to form a plurality of channelized downlink signals. The controller can determine a base station coupling loss (BSCL) value for each of the channelized downlink signal. The controller can use the digital filter to adjust a gain of one or more of the channelized downlink signals based on the BSCL value for each of the channelized downlink signals.
Claims23
A repeater, comprising:
- a signal path that includes a digital filter;
- and
- a controller operable to:
- receive a multi-channel downlink signal;
- digitize the multi-channel downlink signal to form a plurality of channelized downlink signals;
- determine a base station coupling loss (BSCL) value for each of the channelized downlink signals based on a received signal strength indicator (RSSI) for each of the channelized downlink channels;
- and
- use the digital filter to adjust a gain of one or more of the channelized downlink signals based on the BSCL value for each of the channelized downlink signals.
A signal booster, comprising:
- a first antenna port;
- a second antenna port;
- a signal path communicatively coupled between the first antenna port and the second antenna port, the signal path including a digital filter;
- and
- a digital signal processor (DSP) operable to:
- receive a multi-channel downlink signal;
- digitize the multi-channel downlink signal to form a plurality of channelized downlink signals;
- determine a base station coupling loss (BSCL) value for each of the channelized downlink signals based on a received signal strength indicator (RSSI) for each of the channelized downlink channels;
- and
- use the digital filter to adjust a gain of one or more of the channelized downlink signals based on the BSCL value for each of the channelized downlink signals.
At least one machine readable storage medium having instructions embodied thereon, the instructions when executed by one or more processors perform the following:
- identifying, using a controller in a repeater, a multi-channel downlink signal;
- digitizing, using the controller, the multi-channel downlink signal to form a plurality of channelized downlink signals;
- determining, using the controller, a base statin coupling loss (BSCL) value for each of the channelized downlink signal based on a received signal strength indicator (RSSI) for each of the channelized downlink channels;
- and
- adjusting, using the controller and a digital filter included on a signal path of the repeater, a gain of one or more of the channelized downlink signals based on the BSCL value for each of the channelized downlink signals.
