Abstract
Techniques for transmitting encoded data packets to one or more mobile stations in a communication system including a cell that has sectors serving at least partially different geographic areas. The techniques include transmitting in a first sector an encoded data packet in one or more time slots to a mobile station; reducing transmission power in a second sector during one or more of the time slots in which the first sector transmits the data packet to the mobile station; decoding at the mobile station the encoded data packet after each time slot; transmitting by the mobile station a signal indicating acknowledgment of the packet reception when the decoding of the packet is successful; and in response to receiving the acknowledgement signal, ceasing transmission of the data packet in the first sector in subsequent time slots.
