Abstract:
1. A method for operating an uncoordinated microwave path in coordinated frequency bands comprising: determining a safe area defined by and including the union of a first coordination area of a first base station at a first site and a second coordination area of a second base station at a second site, including operating a first coordinated microwave path from the first base station to the second base station on the frequency pair using frequency division duplex-time division duplex (FDD-TDD); operating a second coordinated microwave path from the second base station to the first base station on the frequency pair using FDD-TDD such that the first frequency and the second frequency cause the co-channel interference; and transmitting on an uncoordinated microwave path operating with time division duplex (TDD) from a transceiver portion of the first base station to a transceiver portion at a third site located in the safe area on the first and/or second frequency using a side lobe of an antenna of the first base station.
