A cellular repeater (also known as cell phone signal booster or cell phone signal amplifier) is a type of bi-directional amplifier used to improve cell phone reception. [citation needed] A cellular repeater system commonly consists of a donor antenna that receives and transmits signal from nearby cell towers, coaxial cables, a signal amplifier, and an indoor rebroadcast antenna.
The main benefits for an end user are the following: "5 bar" coverage when there is no existing signal or poor coverage; Higher mobile data capacity, which is important if the end-user makes use of mobile data on their mobile phone (may not be relevant to a large number of subscribers who instead use WiFi where femtocell is located)
Typically the range of a microcell is less than two kilometers wide, a picocell is 200 meters or less, and a femtocell is on the order of 10 meters, [6] although AT&T calls its product, with a range of 40 feet (12 m), a "microcell". [7] AT&T uses "AT&T 3G MicroCell" as a trademark and not necessarily the "microcell" technology, however. [8]
5G Broadcast (5GB), officially known as LTE-based 5G Terrestrial Broadcast, is a system for the distribution of television and other broadcast media content via terrestrial radio broadcast networks based on downlink-only LTE technology. [1] [2] 5G Broadcast focuses mainly on mobile use cases like smartphones and in-car radio.
Since only one wireless device can transmit at once, wireless transmissions are doubled (router to the repeater and then repeater to the client versus just router to the client), and so: Wireless throughput is reduced by at least 50%. [1] Wireless interference (e.g., with other networks on the same channel) is at least doubled.
A mobile phone signal (also known as reception and service) is the signal strength (measured in dBm) received by a mobile phone from a cellular network (on the downlink). Depending on various factors, such as proximity to a tower , any obstructions such as buildings or trees, etc. this signal strength will vary.
A distributed antenna system can be implemented using passive splitters and feeders, or active-repeater amplifiers can be included to overcome the feeder losses. In systems where equalization is applied, it may be desirable to introduce delays between the antenna elements.
5G network slicing is a network architecture that enables the multiplexing of virtualized and independent logical networks on the same physical network infrastructure. [1] [2] Each network slice is an isolated end-to-end network tailored to fulfill diverse requirements requested by a particular application.
