<p>A system and method reduces cross-beam interference in multi-beam wireless data-transmission system through temporal separation of the multiple beams. A sector of a cell is geographically divided such that a number of beam patterns correspond to a number of user-group areas. For example, the sector can be divided such that four user-group areas are created. The number of groups and beam patterns can be increased or decreased. Forward link transmissions from a base station to a plurality of user terminals are patterned such that transmissions to adjacent user-group areas do not occur during the same time intervals.</p> |
