Abstract

See full text

A method and apparatus for wireless communications wherein a base station transmits and receives wireless signals through multiple directional antennas mounted on a rotating antenna assembly. Signal beams from each directional antenna sweep in one angular direction through multiple sector coverage areas. As a signal beam crosses from one sector to another, the routing of forward and reverse link signals associated with that signal beam are switched from the sector it is exiting to the sector it is entering.
