Abstract
Briefly, in accordance with one or more embodiments, a MIMO repeater turns off one or more transmitters of the MIMO repeater if there is no mobile station in the coverage area of the MIMO repeater to reduce noise enhancement on a MIMO network. If there is a repeater in the coverage of the MIMO repeater, the MIMO repeater turns off or keeps off its transmitters that do not have a sufficient channel quality in a respective antenna path, and turns on its transmitters having a sufficient channel quality in the respective antenna path transmits uplink signals from the mobile station via the turned on transmitters to further reduce noise enhancement by not using transmitters that do not significantly contribute to signal quality.
