Abstract
A wireless signal repeater will function to boost the strength of signals being communicated wirelessly between a base station and a mobile station. At the same time, however, the wireless signal repeater will read control channel messages transmitted by the base station and will obtain from the messages an indication of outside temperature and an indication of local time. The repeater will then display the outside temperature and local time information for viewing by a user. Advantageously, the repeater will thus become a more functional object in the eyes of the average lay-person, rather than functioning merely to boost wireless signal levels.
