Abstract
A wireless base station receives attachment signaling for User Equipment (UE) from a wireless repeater chain and identifies a number of repeater hops for the UE between the base station and a serving wireless repeater. The base station transfers signaling indicating the UE ID and the number of wireless repeater hops. A network controller receives the signaling and selects data services for the UE based on the UE ID and the number of wireless repeater hops. The network controller exchanges signaling indicating the selected data services for the UE with a network element to deliver the data services to the UE. The network controller transfers signaling indicating the UE ID and the selected data services to the wireless base station. In some examples, the data services comprise Access Point Names (APNs), and the network controller comprises a Mobility Management Entity (MME).
