POWER CONTROL TECHNIQUES FOR A COMMUNICATION SYSTEM THAT INCLUDES A REPEATER

Abstract:

This disclosure generally relates to systems, devices, apparatuses, products, and methods for wireless communication. For example, a communication system may include a repeater that relays communications between communication devices. The repeater determines a downlink gain value to use for one or more downlink initial access messages received at the repeater. The repeater determines an uplink gain value to use for one or more downlink initial access messages received at the repeater. The uplink gain value is based on the downlink gain value and a noise level related to a channel between the communication device and the repeater. The repeater receives a downlink initial access message, and applies the downlink gain value to the downlink initial access message. The repeater receives an uplink initial access message, and applies the uplink gain value to the uplink initial access message.
