FIG. 2 is a flow chart illustrating operations performed by an RF repeater configured for semantic-less retransmissions in accordance with some embodiments.

FIG. 3 illustrates a processing system in accordance with some embodiments.

FIG. 4 shows an I-Q sample region for use in determining whether or not to retransmit a received RF signal, in accordance with some embodiments.

The following description and the drawings sufficiently illustrate specific embodiments to enable those skilled in the art to practice them. Other embodiments may incorporate structural, logical, electrical, process, and other changes. Portions and features of some embodiments may be included in, or substituted for, those of other embodiments. Embodiments set forth in the claims encompass all available equivalents of those claims.

Some embodiments disclosed herein provide a retransmission decision based solely off of the PHY parameters, such as residual indicators from the electromagnetic transmission, IQ samples, and/or LO frequencies. In these embodiments, the complexity needed by contemporary wireless repeaters is reduced allowing for improved retransmission time, reducing environmental noise from the wireless channel, and enabling semantic-less retransmissions.

Some embodiments of the semantic-less wireless repeater disclosed herein utilizes machine learning and launders the wireless signal to remove interferers. Embodiments disclosed herein provide a specific set of mechanisms for deciding whether or not to retransmit a given signal.
