Abstract
A method for achieving wireless communication between a transmitter and a receiver via a repeater device. The value of a first physical property of a message received from the transmitter is measured by the repeater device. The value of a second physical property to be used for the retransmission of the message is determined by the repeater device depending on the value of the first physical property measured for the received message. The message is retransmitted to the receiver by the repeater device using the determined value of the second physical property.
Claims11
A method for wireless communication between a transmitter device and a receiver device via a repeater device, the transmitter device transmitting a message in a frequency band which is received by the repeater device, the repeater device retransmitting the message in the frequency band to the receiver device, the method comprises:
- measuring, with the repeater device, a value of a first physical property of the message received from the transmitter device;
- determining, with the repeater device and as a function of the value of the first physical property measured for the message, a value of a second physical property to be used for the retransmission of the message, the second physical property being different from the first physical property;
- and
- retransmitting, with the repeater device, the message to the receiver device, using the value of the second physical property.
A repeater device configured to receive a message transmitted in a frequency band by a transmitter device and to retransmit the message in the frequency band to a receiver device, the repeater device comprising:
- a processing circuit to measure a value of a first physical property of the message received from the transmitting device and to determine, as a function of the value of the first physical property measured for the message, the value of a second physical property to be used for retransmission of the message, the second physical property being different from the first physical property;
- and
- a transmitter to retransmit the message to the receiver, using the value of the second physical property determined as a function of the value of the first physical property.
