A wireless communications method comprises, receiving first and second wireless co-channel communications, at each element, of a plurality of elements, of an antenna that is associated with a sector of a base station, from respective first and second physically distinct radioterminals and processing a respective plurality of signals, that is provided by the plurality of elements of the antenna that is associated with the sector of the base station, to recover data, wherein receiving first and second wireless co-channel communications, at each element, of a plurality of elements, of an antenna that is associated with a sector of a base station, from respective first and second physically distinct radioterminals comprises, receiving first and second signals, from the respective first and second physically distinct radioterminals, at each element, of the plurality of elements, of the antenna that is associated with the sector of the base station; the first and second signals overlapping therebetween in time, space and frequency; and, if the first and second signals that are received from the respective first and second physically distinct radioterminals, at each element, of the plurality of elements, of the antenna that is associated with the sector of the base station, relate to a Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) protocol, receiving a first signal from the first radioterminal, at each element, of the plurality of elements, of the antenna that is associated with the sector of the base station; the first signal from the first radioterminal having been spread by a spreading code; and receiving a second signal from the second radioterminal, at each element, of the plurality of elements, of the antenna that is associated with the sector of the base station; the second signal from the second radioterminal having been spread by the same spreading code as the first signal from the first radioterminal. |
