Abstract
A base station is configured to transmit a substantially unidirectional RF beam to a donor. The donor is in close proximity to a building, and provides communication signals corresponding to the unidirectional RF beam to a relay inside the building. The relay includes a phased array antenna panel having a staggered antenna assignment with predetermined phases for antennas in the phased array antenna panel to produce omnidirectional broad-beam RF signals inside the building.
