Abstract
A wireless network includes a base station (BS), a set of mobile stations (MS), and a set of repeaters. The channels between the BS and the repeater and between the repeater and the MS include a downlink (DL) and an uplink (UL). A BS specifies a first center frequency F2 for the channel between the BS and MS, and a second center frequency F1 for the channel between the repeater and the MS. The first center frequency F2 and the second center frequency are transmitted to the repeater and the MS in channel descriptor messages.
