| 摘要 |
Methods and apparatus for using multiple antennas having different polarizations are described. Polarized antennas are advantageously deployed in a cellular network. Some of the sectors utilize an antenna with a first direction polarization, while other sectors use an antenna with a second direction polarization, for a given carrier. Various embodiments are directed to methods and apparatus related to base station deployment which set up and/or operate base stations in accordance with an advantageous reuse pattern from the perspective of inter-cell and/or inter-sector interference. In some embodiments a plurality of carriers are used in addition to a plurality of different polarization direction antennas. In some such embodiments, a base station is configured so that for a given sector different carriers are associated with different direction polarization antennas. Some embodiments are directed to multi-sector base station implementations.
