Publication number: 20100151908Abstract: A base station includes multiple sector antenna units. Each sector antenna unit has an antenna for receiving a carrier signal associated with an antenna frequency in an available frequency band. The base station is converted between a multiple sector base station configuration and a multi-sector, omni-base station configuration. In a diversity base station implementation, each sector antenna unit receives a diversity signal from a first sector, and the second diversity antenna unit receives a diversity signal from a second different sector. If one sector antenna unit does not perform properly so that one of the sector diversity signals is lost or corrupted, the other sector diversity signal is still useable. The base station may be reconfigured to power-down at least some part of the transmit side without having to power-down some or all of the receive side.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 18, 2010Publication date: June 17, 2010Applicant: Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson (publ)Inventors: Ulf Skarby, Rune Johansson, Sven Patrik Lindell, Dan Anders Lindqvist
