  • Patent number: 8094606
    Abstract: A communication system includes a hub, a repeater, and a remote. The hub is configured to adjust a transmission power of the remote depending on an external condition based on (i) a measured carrier-to-noise ratio CNHubsignal1 of data transmitted from the hub to the repeater and back to the hub using a first signal, (ii) a measured carrier-to-noise ratio CNHubsignal2 of data transmitted from the remote to the hub via the repeater using a second signal, (iii) a predetermined carrier-to-noise ratio CNHubSCPCCS of data transmitted from the hub to the repeater and back to the hub using the first signal under a clear sky condition, and (iv) a predetermined carrier-to-noise ratio CNHubTDMACS of data transmitted from a reference remote to the repeater and back to the hub using the second signal under a clear sky condition.

  • Patent number: 8027285
    Abstract: A remote, a communications system, and a method in which the remote communicates with another remote via a repeater and also communicates with a hub. The remote includes a transceiver configured to receive a signal from the another remote, a measuring unit configured to measure a first offset, and a calculation unit configured to calculate a frequency offset for the signal based on (i) the first offset measured at the measuring unit, and (ii) a second offset measured at the hub.
