Carrier-aggregation repeater

A repeater comprising:

• a first port;
• a second port;
• a first first-direction filtering and amplification path coupled between the first port and the second port, wherein the first first-direction filtering and amplification path is configured to filter a first-direction signal of a first frequency range;
• a first second-direction filtering and amplification path coupled between the first port and the second port, wherein the first second-direction filtering and amplification path is configured to filter a second-direction signal of the first frequency range;
• and
• a second second-direction filtering and amplification path coupled between the first port and the second port, wherein the second second-direction filtering and amplification path is configured to filter a second-direction signal of a second frequency range,
• wherein a first-direction signal of the second frequency range is associated with the first-direction signal of the first frequency range using carrier aggregation (CA) or dual-connectivity to enable information configured for communication on the first-direction signal of the second frequency range to only be communicated on the first-direction signal of the first frequency range without having a second first-direction filtering and amplification path for the first-direction signal of the second frequency range.

A repeater comprising:

• a server port;
• a donor port;
• a first uplink (UL) filtering and amplification path coupled between the server port and the donor port, wherein the first UL filtering and amplification path is configured to filter an UL signal of a first frequency range;
• a first downlink (DL) filtering and amplification path coupled between the server port and the donor port, wherein the first DL filtering and amplification path is configured to filter a DL signal of the first frequency range;
• and
• a second DL filtering and amplification path coupled between the server port and the donor port, wherein the second DL filtering and amplification path is configured to filter a DL signal of a second frequency range,
• wherein an UL signal of the second frequency range is associated with the UL signal of the first frequency range using carrier aggregation (CA) or dual-connectivity to enable information configured for communication on the UL signal of the second frequency range to only be communicated on the UL signal of the first frequency range without having a second UL filtering and amplification path for the UL signal of the second frequency range,
• wherein a DL output power from an output of the second DL filtering and amplification path is less than a threshold,
• wherein the threshold is one of:
• 17 decibel-milliwatts (dBm);
• or
• 0 dBm.
