Abstract:
A multi-sector base station apparatus in base station apparatuses of a mobile communication system which performs a communication on the basis of individual sectors by using a base station MODEM, said apparatus comprising:peripheral equipment controlling means for transferring sector control data outputted from a central processing unit (CPU) for controlling a sector switching of a base station, to peripheral equipments; sector conversion controlling means for generating a plurality of sector conversion control signals for a sector conversion according to control signals and said sector control data provided from the peripheral equipment controlling means; and sector converting means for performing a switching for sectors of a transmission signal from the base station MODEM and a reception signal transmitted from a mobile station, in response to said plurality of sector conversion control signals generated in said sector conversion controlling means, said sector converting means including, a transmitter having first through third demultiplexors for converting a three-sector signal outputted from the base station MODEM into a six-sector signal in response to said plurality of sector conversion control signals outputted from the sector conversion controlling means; and a receiver having first through third multiplexors for converting a six-sector reception signal transmitted from the mobile station into a three-sector signal.
