Repeater device with slave mode

Abstract

A repeater device that includes control circuitry, which activates a slave mode in the repeater device based on a request received from a first wireless communication device. The control circuitry receives a first radio frequency signal from a base station and acquire timing information of the base station. The control circuitry executes a network time synchronization with the base station based on the acquired timing information of the base station. The repeater device in the slave mode acts as a slave of the base station based on the network time synchronization. The control circuitry executes a synchronization with a modem of the first wireless communication device in which the repeater device in the slave mode follows radio signals and a radio state of the modem of the first wireless communication device.
