Abstract

A technique for converting a non-sectorized cell to a sectorized cell having multiple sectors utilizing a single broadband processing unit. The spectrum of a given frequency band is divided into multiple bands. In the receive path, respective sub-bands are used to convey analog RF signals from a subscriber in respective sectors to an associated transceiver. Each of the transceivers includes a front end for receiving incoming RF signals and an analog-to-digital converter for converting the analog signal to a digital data stream. The digital data streams from transceivers are combined, and supplied to a single channelizer which, in turn, supplies the data to a TDM bus for transmission to a PSTN network. In the reverse path from the PSTN network, TDM digital data signals emanating from a TDM bus are supplied to a combiner which feeds each of the respective transceivers with appropriate data from the combiner. The transceivers convert the digital signal to analog form. After conversion, power amplifiers associated with the respective sectors effect emission of radiated power in the respective sectors.

Description

[0001] This application is a continuation application of and claims the priority from U.S. application Ser. No. 09 / 112,149, entitled "SECTORIZED CELL HAVING NON-REDUNDANT BROADBAND PROCESSING UNIT", filed Jul. 9, 1998, the entirety of which is incorporated herein by reference.

[0002] 1. Field of the Invention

[0003] The present invention relates to wireless communication systems, but more particularly, to a method and system for attaining sectorization in a cellular communication system utilizing a single broadband processing unit.

[0004] 2. Discussion of the Prior Art

[0005] In order to provide multi-channel voice and data communications over a broad geographical area, wireless communication providers currently install base station transceivers in protected and maintainable structures, known as cell sites. A cell site encompasses an antenna, a tower or building upon which the antenna is mounted, high-power amplifiers, duplexers, transmitters, receivers and broadband processing equipmen...
