Abstract: A system and method includes employing a cyclical redundancy check (CRC) code to information being transmitted on the channel, the CRC code including appending a single CRC code bit to the information, the single CRC code bit having a value of 0. The method further includes adding an error correcting code with a value of 0 to the information and to a plurality of error correcting code parity bits provided by the error correcting code. The method further includes transmitting, by the communication device, the information on the channel without the single CRC code bit, the additional information bit, and the error correcting code parity bits for being decoded and set by a receiver.

Abstract: A repeater configured to dynamically affect the gain level of the repeater in response to the input signal power level over time. The repeater system includes a gain hold processor executing a gain hold algorithm. The gain hold algorithm preempts a large up-step in signal power level to follow a large down-step in signal power level. After a large up-step in input signal is detected, the system holds the gain level in response to a drop in input signal level after the large up-step. The gain is held at the level set by the large burst of input signal power to the repeater. In response to a larger up-step in signal power level, the system will lower the gain. In response to a large down-step in signal power after the larger up-step in signal power level, the system will hold the gain level of the repeater. During a prolonged low-power level or zero power signal at the input of the repeater, the system will slowly raise the gain level of the repeater over time.

Abstract: A repeater mediates traffic between a network transceiver and a user transceiver in a wireless communication system. The repeater comprises a network unit that maintains a network link with the network transceiver, a user unit that maintains a user link with the user transceiver, a two-way communication pathway between the network unit and the user unit; that facilitate the communication of signals between the network transceiver and the user transceiver in autonomous repeater hops between the network transceiver and the network unit, between the user transceiver and the user unit, and between the network unit and the user unit, and a gain controller that compensates for propagation losses between the network unit and user unit alone.
