Abstract
Provided is a wireless communication method and related apparatus. In the method, a base station receives a capability of a repeater, and if a repeater gain of the repeater is allowed to be increased based on the capability of the repeater, the base station requires at least one user equipment to reduce transmit power and use the reduced transmit power to transmit uplink signals. With this method, the transmit power of the user equipment served by the repeater can be effectively reduced to get the benefit of saving UE's power consumption.
Claims18
A wireless communication method, applied to a second device communicating with at least one third device via a first device, which is used to amplify cellular communication signals between the second device and the at least one third device in a network, the method comprising:
- receiving a capability of the first device;
- in response to determining, based on the capability of the first device, that a repeater gain of the first device is allowed to be increased, requiring the at least one third device to reduce transmit power and use the reduced transmit power to transmit uplink signals;
- and
- notifying the first device to increase the repeater gain to amplify, with the increased repeater gain, the uplink signals transmitted by the at least one third device with the reduced transmit power.
A wireless communication method, applied to a third device communicating with a second device via a first device, which is used to amplify cellular communication signals between the second device and the third device in a network, the method comprising:
- being notified of reducing transmit power in a case that a repeater gain of the first device is allowed to be increased;
- and
- using the reduced transmit power to transmit uplink signals to the first device,
- wherein the uplink signals transmitted by the third device with the reduced transmit power are amplified by the first device with an increased repeater gain.
