Abstract
A system includes a repeater and a data processor. The repeater is for relaying data between a base station and a handset. The repeater is configured to receive data from a plurality of cells in a network and relay at least a portion of the received data to a handset on a first channel. The data processor is coupled to the repeater. The data processor is configured to extract, from the received data, network information characterizing different channels in a network being utilized by neighbor cells. The data processor is configured to determine, from a set of supported channels that the repeater is capable of utilizing for relaying data and using the extracted network information, a set of monitor channels. The repeater is configured to monitor a channel characteristic of channels contained in the set of monitor channels. Related apparatus, systems, techniques and articles are also described.
