Method and apparatus for improving link performance and capacity of a sectorized CDMA cellular communication network

摘要

A system and method for improving link performance and network capacity of a CDMA network is described. In a preferred embodiment, at each sector site, antennas having a relatively narrow horizontal beamwidth are used as transmit antennas, while antennas having a relatively wide horizontal beamwidth are used as receive antennas. Narrow beamwidth antennas are also used to implement hybrid transmit/receive antennas.
