Abstract
A system and method for increasing the use of frequency licenses in a cellular, multipoint wireless access system with non-mobile customer sites. The cell coverage of a base station is divided into sectors, for example 4, and orthogonal polarization between adjacent sectors is employed. For bi-directional communication uplink and downlink signals within each sector also employs orthogonal polarization.
