Abstract
A wireless communication system and method comprising co-location of a pico evolved node B ('eNB') and a macro up-link repeater is disclosed. User Equipment ('UE') communicates with a macro eNB via the up-link repeater with reduced transmission power as compared to the transmission power required for the UE to communicate directly with the macro eNB. As a result, the UE does not desensitize the pico eNB receiver. The up-link repeater comprises a donor antenna that radiates a highly directional beam to the macro eNB.
