Original Abstract Submitted
A method for positioning based system design for smart repeaters with adaptive beamforming capabilities is implemented by an electronic device. In certain embodiments, the electronic device is a smart repeater. The method includes obtaining user equipment (UE) location information indicating a location of a UE. The method includes translating, based on a prediction engine, the UE location information to a beam index associated with a beam to serve the UE at the location of the UE. The method includes receiving, from an external communication device via a first wireless communication channel, traffic intended for the UE. The method includes forward-transmitting, via a second wireless communication channel, the traffic via the beam formed at a transmit (TX) antenna of the electronic device.
