Abstract
A method for wireless communication between a plurality of transmitter devices and at least one receiver device using a repeater device on the surface of the Earth. Messages transmitted by transmitter devices and received by the repeater device are collected by the repeater during a collection window. The messages received during the collection window are retransmitted to the receiver device by the repeater device. The messages received during the collection window are retransmitted so that at least two messages received non-simultaneously are retransmitted simultaneously to the receiver device.

A method for wireless communication between a plurality of transmitter devices and at least one receiver device by means of a repeater device on a surface of the Earth, the plurality of transmitter devices transmitting messages in a frequency band of the plurality of transmitter devices that are received by the repeater device, the repeater device retransmitting the messages received in the frequency band to said at least one receiver device, the method comprises:
- collecting, by the repeater device, messages transmitted by the plurality of transmitter devices and received by the repeater device during a collection window;
- and
- retransmission, by the repeater device, of the messages received during the collection window to said at least one receiver device, the messages received during the collection window being retransmitted so that at least two messages received non-simultaneously are retransmitted simultaneously to said at least one receiver device.
A repeater device configured to receive, on a surface of the Earth, messages transmitted in a frequency band by transmitter devices and to retransmit the messages received in the frequency band to at least one receiver device, the repeater device comprising:
- a processing circuit configured to collect messages transmitted by the transmitter devices and received by the repeater device during a collection window;
- and
- a transmitter to retransmit the messages received during the collection window to said at least one receiver device, the messages received during the collection window being retransmitted so that at least two messages received non-simultaneously are retransmitted simultaneously to said at least one receiver device.
