Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A relay and distribution apparatus is provided for a cellular communication system. The relay and distribution apparatus includes an antenna system configured to lay down beams in overlapping first and M second N-cell frequency reuse patterns. The first frequency reuse pattern may be for communication of control channels of a cellular communication system, and the second frequency reuse patterns may be for communication of traffic channels exclusive of control channels of the cellular communication system. The second frequency reuse patterns may be staggered with one another. And cells of the second frequency reuse patterns may have a size only a fraction of which is for transmission of traffic channels any of which may be assignable through a control channel of the first reuse frequency pattern.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A relay and distribution apparatus comprising: a communication platform; and an antenna system carried by the communication platform and including at least one array of antenna feeds, the antenna system being configured to lay down beams covering respective cells of a cellular communication system, wherein the antenna system is configured to lay down beams in overlapping P-cell and Q-cell frequency reuse patterns, Q being different in number than P, each…
