Arrival-direction estimation and phase switching steer reflected radio waves with lower calculation overhead and less base-station complexity.
Third nodes monitor peer link quality and relay traffic when direct links are poor, reducing transmission power consumption and interference.
A partial uplink repeater extracts downlink allocation maps to selectively retransmit mobile station signals.
A relay UE transmits grants to remote devices using specific control messages from a base station.
A radio relay device adjusts antenna directivity using a dedicated controller that monitors received signal propagation characteristics.
