Abstract: An antenna control algorithm is disclosed. Using this algorithm, the repeater will select an optimum antenna configuration at start-up. Once the configuration is selected, the system will keep this configuration until the performance metrics for this configuration drops below a specified level. At this point, the system will scan all antenna configurations to determine a new optimum configuration. In an alternative implementation, the repeater will select an optimum antenna configuration at start-up. Once the configuration is selected, the system will keep this configuration until the performance metrics for this configuration drops below a specified level. At this point, the system will start scanning antenna configurations to find a new configuration that yields a performance better than the required minimum performance level. This configuration would typically be faster than an optimum configuration as not all possible options need to be tested.

Abstract: An antenna system includes a donor antenna sub-system, a server antenna sub-system, and a processor to optimize the gain of the repeater in the system. The gain in the antenna system is increased by optimizing the isolation between the donor and/or server antenna sub-systems according to a cost function.

Abstract: An integrated repeater is provided that places a donor antenna and a server antenna proximate to null-field points from the server antenna and the donor antenna, respectively, thereby increasing the isolation level between the donor antenna and the server antenna.

Abstract: A system and method for selecting an operator to boost in a repeater are disclosed. Wireless signals are received at a wireless signal booster from two or more mobile phone operators. One selected operator is selected from the two or more mobile phone operators. The wireless signals from the selected operator are then selectively boosted, the selectively boosting repeating the wireless signals from the selected operator in a boosted state for a mobile phone recipient.

Abstract: A system and method for providing internet access using mobile devices is disclosed. A gateway/router device of a local environment selects at least one mobile device located within the local environment, the selecting being based on the at least one mobile device having a wireless connection to the internet. The gateway/router device established a local connection with the selected at least one mobile device, the local connection for communicating data signals between the at least one mobile device and the gateway/router device on a first hop, and for communicating the data signals between the selected at least one mobile device and the internet on a second hop via the wireless connection between the at least one mobile device and the internet. The gateway/router device communicates the data signals between at least one other internet-enabled device within the local environment.
