摘要：
Systems and methods for enhancing coverage of repeater systems by time-division beamforming are provided. A repeater system includes an interface configured to communicate signals with a base station and a phased antenna array. The phased antenna array includes a plurality of antenna elements, wherein the phased antenna array is configured to generate a beam in a plurality of predefined directions and wirelessly communicate signals with user equipment in a coverage area of the phased antenna array. The repeater system further includes a beamforming circuit communicatively coupled to the phased antenna array, wherein the beamforming circuit is configured to adjust a direction of the beam generated by the phased antenna array to correspond to one of the plurality of predefined directions at a particular time according to a schedule.
