Abstract

Systems and methods for providing in-building wireless network coverage are disclosed. An exemplary method for providing in-building wireless network coverage includes coupling a wireless repeater to an exterior power outlet of the building, and coupling a wireless in-building base station to an interior power outlet of the building. The exterior and interior power outlets are coupled to each other via the building's electrical power wiring. The wireless repeater forwards information received from a wireless macro network base station to the wireless in-building base station, and forwards information received from the wireless in-building base station to the wireless macro network base station.
