Patent ID: 8768418

Claim:
A system, comprising: a memory to store executable instructions; and a processor, coupled to the memory, to facilitate execution of the executable instructions to perform operations, comprising: allocating beacon signal time slots to sectors of a cell site of a wireless communications network based on a load of each of the sectors, wherein a sector of the sectors with a load higher than another load of another sector of the sectors is allocated additional beacon signal time slots; transmitting beacon signals for each of the sectors of the cell site on a first beacon signal frequency, wherein each of the beacon signals are in respective beacon signal time slots and power levels of the beacon signals are cycled; and combining the beacon signals carried on the first beacon signal frequency with a caller traffic signal carried on a carrier frequency that is selected from a pool of carrier frequencies that is divided based on the cell site, wherein the beacon signals are transmitted with the caller traffic signal over the sectors of the cell site.
