| 1. A method for use in a communication system, wherein a remote station communicates to a base station through a repeater
attached to the base station using a physical link, the method comprising:
determining a desired search window size in time;
determining a maximum physical link delay value based on the desired search window size;
determining a ratio value of a physical link delay value to physical link length;
determining a tolerable length of the physical link based on the maximum physical link delay value and the ratio value; and
installing the repeater within the communication system such that the physical link between the repeater and the base station
is no greater than the determined tolerable length.
