Patent ID: 8868132

Claim:
A cellular wireless communication system, comprising: a plurality of spatially distributed means for defining radio cells to wirelessly communicate with wireless subscriber stations in each cell, wherein each means for defining radio cells corresponds to one cell and comprises: a plurality of means for transmitting radio signals, that are spatially arranged relative to one another to partially overlap a transmission pattern of one transmitting means with (1) a transmission pattern of a first adjacent transmitting means on one side of the transmitting means and (2) a transmission pattern of a second adjacent transmitting means on the other side of the transmitting means to form two overlapped regions as two separate sectors of the cell, thus forming a number of sectors of the cell that is equal to a number of the transmitting means; and means for supplying a set of different radio bandwidth segments to the transmitting means, wherein two adjacent transmitting means are assigned to transmit at different radio bandwidth segments, and wherein two transmitting means that produce two transmission patterns located at opposing sides of the cell without overlap are assigned with the same radio bandwidth segment.
