AI Technical Summary
The high directivity of radio signals in high-frequency bands, such as millimeter-wave and terahertz bands, reduces the coverage of base stations in 5G mobile communication systems, leading to communication challenges for user devices outside the direct line of sight or obstructed areas.
A network-controlled repeater device (NCR) relays wireless signals between a network and user devices, amplifying and transmitting radio signals directionally to expand coverage, controlled by a network device through a control terminal that manages cell connections and beamforming.
The NCR device efficiently expands the coverage of base stations by relaying signals, ensuring effective communication for user devices in challenging environments, including non-line-of-sight conditions and obstructed areas.
