Abstract
A base transceiver station of a GSM type cellular network exchanges data by radio with mobiles in a specific geographical area or main cell divided into a plurality of sectors each corresponding to a specific portion of the main cell and each associated with a receiver having a directional antenna. The base transceiver station includes a single transmitter having an omni-directional antenna and providing the transmit radio coverage of all the sectors so that the data transmitted by the base transceiver station in the form of radio signals to a mobile in any sector is transmitted by the transmitter.
