Abstract: The present invention relates to communication systems and methods and more particularly to a system and method for optimizing the bandwidth of a point to multipoint wireless system by synchronizing transmit and receive modes of various hubs and sectors. The inventive method and system provides an optimal guard time between transmit and receive modes. Moreover, the inventive system and method utilizes a control channel located in a guard space associated with a data channel to provide synchronization telemetry to facilitate dynamically variable transmit and receive modes.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a system and method for frequency re-use in a wireless communication system. More particularly, the inventive system and method provides for maximum coverage of a service area with a pattern of cells each having a sectorized hub antenna pattern where only a limited number of communication channels are available.

Abstract: The inventive cellular reuse plan uses a tessellating grouping of cells to form a pattern, which is then repeated to form a larger cell cluster. The mosaic pattern uses several different cell types. Each cell type preferably comprises a different set of channel assignments. The channels are preferably provided additional orthogonality, such as through the use of polarization, where channel assignments within a cell are grouped to provide adjacent sectors, as a block, with primary communication links using commonly polarized channels. The different cell types are then arranged in the mosaic pattern. Each particular cell in the pattern has adjoining cells that are of a different type than the particular cell. The most preferred embodiment cell pattern does not utilize all available channels to thereby provide reserve channels for use in providing redundant links and/or added capacity.

Abstract: The inventive cellular reuse plan uses a tessellating grouping of cells to form a pattern, which is then repeated to form a larger cell cluster. The invention uses a uniformly rotated set of identical or substantially identical cell assignments within a mosaic repeat pattern. The mosaic pattern uses several different cell types. Each cell type comprises a different set of frequency assignments. The different cell types are then arranged in the mosaic pattern. The cells may be represented as shapes in the pattern, e.g. hexagonal or square shapes. Each particular cell in the pattern has adjoining cells that are of a different type than the particular cell. Adjacent cells of the same type have their sector channel assignments rotated with respect to each other such that the common channels are not parallel with respect to each other.
