SYSTEM FOR EFFICIENTLY PROVIDING COVERAGE OF A SECTORIZED CELL

摘要

A communication system transmits and receives communications within a sectorized cell between at least one primary station and at least one secondary station. The communication system includes a unit for generating and shaping a beam; an antenna for transmitting and receiving signals within said beam; and a unit for directing the beam. The shaped beam is directed at a plurality of predetermined directions; either continuously or discretely. When a WRTU successfully acquires the beacon common channel (42), it reports the identifier number of the common channel it acquires to the PS(44). This information is used by the system to determine the WTRUs location(46). The PS then assigns a dedicated channel in the proper direction of the WTRU(48).
