Abstract
A CDMA base station servicing a plurality of mobile stations in a plurality of sectors monitors the reverse-link signal strength received by each antenna for each mobile station, and accordingly determines an optimum combination of antennas for forward-link transmission to each mobile station, whereby transmission to each mobile station may be accomplished with lower power, and whereby the dropped-call rate is reduced.
