Abstract:
1. A system for allocating frequency allocations (FAs) to each of N sectors in a base transceiver station (BTS) for use in a mobile communication system, N being a positive integer, the system comprising: a determiner that determines d# and f#, each representing a number of dynamic FAs and a number of fixed FAs, respectively, for each sector based on one of call requests or subscriber information; an array of sector amplifiers; and a switch that switchably connects the dynamic FAs to the sector amplifiers, wherein each of the sector amplifiers amplifies a corresponding output signal and each of the sector amplifiers includes: a switchable divider that switchably divides the corresponding signal; a plurality of multi-carrier power amplifiers (MCPAs) that amplify the divided signal; and a switchable combiner that switchably combines the amplified signal.
