Abstract

Repeater systems and methods are disclosed. In one embodiment, a repeater system located within a coverage area comprises: a host configured to combine multiple downlink signals from multiple communication sources located outside the coverage area into a first combined downlink signal; at least one remote coupled to the host and configured to transmit the first combined downlink signal as a second downlink RF communication signal to terminals within the coverage area. The at least one remote is configured to produce a combined uplink signal from multiple uplink signals received through multiple communication links from the terminals, and configured to forward the combined uplink signal to the host. The host produces multiple signals from the combined uplink signal for transmission to the multiple communication sources, wherein a first of the plurality of terminals communicates with a different one of the multiple communication sources than a second of the plurality of terminals.
