Users have many AV equipments (TV set, PVR, Camcorder, etc) spread in several rooms. Family members can use them in individual rooms simultaneously. Video sources can also be distributed and some come from outside home, e.g. through the Internet, CATV, TV broadcasts. Current trend is integrated digital living environments. One solution is that one central home video server distributes video contents, which may be stored in it or come through it, to all rooms in a house. Repeater devices are essential for these wireless systems.

It might have multiple mode transceivers that operate on different channels to maintain total throughput high. –If N segment links in a home network share one channel time, its effective throughput is reduced to 1/N. –For example, a chain of seven repeaters links may divide a network into eight segments. It means that 3 Gbps PHY can support only as small as 375 Mbps of throughput.

In the network, many devices communicate with one central server simultaneously. Repeater devices can extend each link of devices, and can connect remote rooms beyond walls. Repeater devices can ensure steady LOS condition.
