Abstract
An apparatus and method for identifying remote communications transmitted via a repeater from remote communications not transmitted via the repeater. The method comprises the steps of receiving a signal transmission 124A from a remote station 112, determining if the signal transmission 124A includes a discriminant applied to the signal transmitted from the remote station 112 and designating the signal transmission 124A as being transmitted via the repeater 120 if the signal transmission 124A includes the discriminant.
Claims48
A method of identifying remote communications transmitted via a repeater, comprising the steps of:
- receiving a signal transmission from a remote station;
- determining if the signal transmission includes a discriminant applied to the signal transmitted from the remote station;
- and
- designating the signal transmission as being transmitted via the repeater if the signal transmission includes the discriminant.
An apparatus for identifying remote communications transmitted via a repeater, comprising:
- a receiver configured to receive a signal transmission from a remote station;
- a processor configured to determine if the signal transmission includes a discriminant applied to the signal transmitted from the remote station and to designate the signal transmission as being transmitted via the repeater if the signal transmission includes the discriminant.
An apparatus for identifying remote communications transmitted via a repeater, comprising:
- means for receiving a signal transmission from a remote station;
- means for determining if the signal transmission includes a discriminant applied to the signal transmitted from the remote station;
- and
- means for designating the signal transmission as being transmitted via the repeater if the signal transmission includes the discriminant.
A program storage device, readable by a computer, tangibly embodying at least one program of instructions executable by the computer to perform method steps of identifying remote communications transmitted via a repeater from remote communications not transmitted via the repeater, the method steps comprising the steps of:
- receiving a signal transmission from a remote station;
- determining if the signal transmission includes a discriminant applied to the signal transmitted from the remote station;
- and
- designating the signal transmission as being transmitted via the repeater if the signal transmission includes the discriminant.
A method of distinguishing remote communications transmitted via a repeater from remote communications not transmitted via the repeater, comprising the steps of:
- receiving a signal transmission in the repeater;
- augmenting the received signal with a discriminant;
- and
- transmitting the augmented received signal to a base station.
A repeater for transmitting remote communications distinguishable as being transmitted by the repeater, comprising:
- a server antenna for receiving a signal transmission from a remote station;
- an amplifier communicatively coupled to the server antenna;
- and
- a donor antenna, communicatively coupled to the amplifier, for transmitting a signal transmission comprising the received signal transmission augmented by a discriminant identifying the transmitted signal as originating from the repeater.
