Multi-beam cellular base station, mobile station and method for sending spread spectrum signal
First Claim
1. A multi-beam cellular base station for sending a spread spectrum signal to at least one mobile station, said base station comprising:
- first antenna for sending a common channel by a common beam that a directional pattern is formed previously;
second antenna for sending a dedicated channel by a dedicated beam that a directional pattern is formed for each mobile station; and
switching means for switching a sending time section of said common beam and a sending time section of said dedicated beam so that said sending time sections do not overlap within a time slot, said common beam and said dedicated beam are sent by same frequency.

Abstract
A multi-beam cellular base station is for sending a spread spectrum signal to at least one mobile station, the base station comprising: first antenna for sending a common channel by a common beam that a directional pattern is formed previously; second antenna for sending a dedicated channel by a dedicated beam that a directional pattern is formed for each mobile station; and switching means for switching a sending time section of the common beam and a sending time section of the dedicated beam so that the sending time sections do not overlap within a time slot, the common beam and the dedicated beam are sent by same frequency.

9. A cellular system comprising multi-beam cellular base stations and single beam cellular base stations, said multi-beam cellular base station having first antenna for sending a common channel by a common beam that a directional pattern is formed previously, second antenna for sending a dedicated channel by a dedicated beam that a directional pattern is formed for each mobile station, and switching means for switching a sending time section of said common beam and a sending time section of said dedicated beam so that said sending time sections do not overlap within a time slot, said common beam and said dedicated beam are sent by same frequency, and said single beam cellular base station sending said common channel and said dedicated channel by same directional pattern beam,
wherein said multi-beam cellular base station including a common pilot channel in said common channel, and including a dedicated traffic channel and a dedicated pilot channel in said dedicated channel, and wherein said single beam cellular base station sending said dedicated traffic channel in a section of a data format, where said dedicated pilot channel is sent in the case of said multi-beam cellular base station, and sending a dedicated traffic channel data in a same section of a data format, where said dedicated traffic channel is sent in the case of multi-beam cellular base station.

12. A method for sending spread spectrum signal from cellular base station to a plurality of mobile stations, said method comprising the steps of:
-
sending a common channel for a predetermined time in every time slot, by a common beam that a directional pattern is formed previously; and
sending a dedicated channel for a time other than said predetermined time in every time slot, by a dedicated beam that a directional pattern is formed adaptively for each mobile station, said common channel and said dedicated channel sent by same frequency are not overlap within a time slot.
