A technology is described for a time division duplex (TDD) repeater with network protection. The TDD repeater can comprise a first port, a second port, and one or more amplification paths coupled between the first port and the second port. The TDD repeater can comprise a signal detector configured to measure a received signal power for a downlink (DL) signal in a first set of one or more TDD DL subframes. The TDD repeater can be further configured to adjust an uplink (UL) noise power or gain of the one or more amplification paths based on the received signal power for the DL signal in the first set of the one or more TDD DL subframes.
