Abstract:
A method (200) of dynamically deploying wireless repeaters in a communication network can include establishing (205) a first wireless repeater serving as a communication node, evaluating (210) quality of a signal dynamically among at least one additional repeater being deployed in the communication network and the communication node, and selectively entering (215) a vertical unit in one of the additional repeaters being deployed. Evaluating the quality can include measuring (211) a signal strength from other repeaters in the communication system or measuring (212) a signal strength from a nearest repeater among the other repeaters in the system. Evaluating can also include pinging (213) the communication node. The vertical units can be entered as an input using any number of input devices including, but not limited to a keypad, a rotary switch (22 and 24), a voice recognition system or any combination thereof.
