Samsung patents method for 5G repeaters to handle signal errors

Patent drawing from the official filing.

Samsung has filed a patent for a way to manage errors in network-controlled repeaters used in 5G and 6G systems. The method involves separating control signals into two distinct parts, one for the repeater itself and one for signal forwarding, so the device can check its own settings without getting confused by the forwarding instructions.

Why it mattersThis improves the reliability of mobile network infrastructure by ensuring repeaters can correctly configure themselves before passing data, which is essential for maintaining stable high-speed connections.

In the filing’s own words

The present disclosure relates to a 5G or 6G communication system for supporting higher data transmission rates. In particular, the present disclosure proposes a method for processing control signals by separating the signals into a terminal direction and a repeater direction.

What exactly they claim (claim 1)

1. A method performed by a network-controlled repeater mobile termination (NCR-MT) in a communication system, the method comprising: receiving, from a base station, a radio resource control (RRC) message including a configuration for the NCR-MT and a configuration for an NCR-FWD (forwarding); performing a compliance check on the configuration for the NCR-MT included in the RRC message with compliance check on the configuration for the NCR-FWD being disregarded; and transmitting, to the base station, an RRC complete message in case that the compliance check on the configuration for the NCR-MT is successful.
