Abstract

A repeating method for a wireless communication system which provides time and space diversities, and an apparatus thereof are disclosed. The method of repeating a forward link communication signal for a wireless communication system includes the steps of: a) transmitting the forward link communication signal through a first transmitting antenna; b) delaying the forward link communication signal for a predetermined time period; and c) transmitting a delayed forward link communication signal which is generated by step b) through a second transmitting antenna. According to the method, when repeating forward and reverse link communication signals, time and space diversities are respectively provided to the base station and the mobile stations.

Claims3

Dependent claims

A repeater for a wireless communication system comprising:

a direct path transmitting/receiving part for transmitting a forward link communication signal through a first transmitting/receiving antenna, and for outputting a first reverse link communication signal received by the first transmitting/receiving antenna;
and
a multi-path transmitting/receiving part for delaying the forward link communication signal for a first predetermined time period in order to generate a delayed forward link communication signal, transmitting the delayed forward link communication signal through a second transmitting/receiving antenna, delaying a second reverse link communication signal received by the second transmitting/receiving antenna for a second predetermined time period in order to generate a delayed reverse link communication signal, and outputting the delayed reverse link communication signal.
