Repeater system and method of pre-calibrating repeater devices using pseudo-SSB signal

A method, comprising:

• in a first repeater device:
• setting the first repeater device as a source of a Synchronization Signal Block (SSB) signal independent of a gNode base station (gNB);
• generating a pseudo-SSB signal before establishing any connection with the gNB in a pre-connection stage when the first repeater device is set the source of the SSB signal instead of the gNB;
• steering the pseudo-SSB signal across multiple directions to cover a sector of the first repeater device when the first repeater device is set the source of the SSB signal;
• receiving a feedback comprising a plurality of signal assessment parameters from a second repeater device based on the pseudo-SSB signal received at the second repeater device;
• and
• passing the feedback to a first Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based controller of the first repeater device to interpret the feedback received from the second repeater device and automatically updating the pseudo-SSB signal and the steering of the pseudo-SSB signal.

A computer program product for pre-calibrating repeater devices, the computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions are executable by a system to cause the system to execute operations, the operations comprising:

• setting a first repeater device as a source of a Synchronization Signal Block (SSB) signal independent of a gNode base station (gNB);
• generating, by the first repeater device, a pseudo-SSB signal before establishing any connection with the gNB in a pre-connection stage when the first repeater device is set the source of the SSB signal instead of the gNB;
• steering, by the first repeater device, the pseudo-SSB signal across multiple directions to cover a sector of the first repeater device when the first repeater device is set the source of the SSB signal;
• receiving, by the first repeater device, a feedback comprising a plurality of signal assessment parameters from a second repeater device based on the pseudo-SSB signal received at the second repeater device;
• and
• passing, by the first repeater device, the feedback to a first Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based controller of the first repeater device to interpret the feedback received from the second repeater device and automatically updating the pseudo-SSB signal and the steering of the pseudo-SSB signal.
