Abstract
A smart repeater includes a transceiver configured to receive a reference signal, receive, from a base station (BS), a subcarrier allocation for a plurality of user equipments (UEs), receive, from the BS, a downlink (DL) beam associated with the plurality of UEs, and retransmit the DL beam. The smart repeater further includes a processor, operatively coupled to the transceiver, the processor configured to determine a beam split configuration for the DL beam based on the subcarrier allocation, and cause the transceiver to retransmit the DL beam according to the beam split configuration. To retransmit the DL beam according to the beam split configuration the transceiver is further configured to generate a frequency dependent beam for each of the plurality of UEs, and direct the frequency dependent beam for each of the plurality of UEs to a UE associated with the frequency dependent beam.
