  • Patent number: 5819182
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for improving the signal-to-interference ratio and signal-to-noise ratio of a signal transmitted on a reverse channel from a mobile transmitter in a land mobile communications system by using a sectored cell in which the same channel is received by each sector of the cell. Each directional antenna is coupled to a unique associated receiver tuned to the same frequency or frequencies as the other receivers associated with each other directional antenna within the same sectored cell. Depending upon the location of the mobile end system with respect to the antenna pattern of each directional antenna, each signal will typically be redundantly received over more than one, but less than all, of the antennas. In accordance with the present invention, only one of the received signals is to be communicated from the base station to an intermediate system and all others are to be discarded.
