Patent number: 11252646Abstract: A wireless communication network serves a wireless User Equipment (UE) with a wireless data service over wireless repeaters. A serving access node wirelessly receives UE signaling that indicates signal strengths for the wireless repeaters. The serving access node determines amounts of the wireless repeaters between the wireless UE and individual target access nodes. The serving access node selects a primary access node from the target access nodes based on the signal strengths and the wireless repeater amounts. The serving access node responsively transfers network signaling to the primary access node. The primary access node receives the network signaling and responsively serves the wireless UE with the wireless data service. The primary access node transfers additional network signaling to a secondary access node. The secondary access node receives the additional network signaling and responsively serves the wireless UE with the wireless data service.Type: GrantFiled: June 19, 2020Date of Patent: February 15, 2022Assignee: Sprint Communications Company L.P.Inventor: Sreekar Marupaduga
