Wireless communication system and method for high-performance low-latency fixed wireless access using hybrid repeater devices

Abstract

A wireless communication system including a master wireless access point device communicates a WLAN signal in first WLAN frequency from a data source. A plurality of hybrid analog-digital repeater devices are disposed at a plurality of different locations, where a first hybrid analog-digital repeater device receives the WLAN signal from the master wireless access point device, convert the WLAN signal to a first beam of radio frequency (RF) signal in an intermediate frequency band, and relays the first beam of RF signals in the intermediate frequency band to one or more second hybrid analog-digital repeater devices of the plurality of hybrid analog-digital repeater devices. One or more service wireless access point devices receives the first beam of RF signals from the one or more second hybrid analog-digital repeater devices and convert back to the WLAN signal to serve user equipment in a data throughput greater than a threshold throughput.
