Abstract

An arrangement of an area covering, cellular radio communication network having cell regions which can be contiguously replicated without interference. A central transceiver station is coupled to a base station controller and has a plurality of decentral transceiver stations surrounding and coupled to the central transceiver station. Groups of adjacent decentral transceiver stations are grouped in respective cell areas. All of the decentral transceiver stations in each cell area are allocated the same transmission frequencies, but the frequencies of each cell area are different from the other cell areas in the cell region.

Claims

1. A non-decoding transceiver station for an area-covering radio network, comprising a connecting aerial and an aerial for area coverage, the aerials being coupled together via transmitting and receiving branches connected between aerial filters, wherein each branch comprises at least a respective frequency converter and an amplifier receiving the signal output from the corresponding frequency converter, the frequency channel received from and applied to one aerial by the converters, being different from the frequency channels received from and applied to the other aerial, and wherein a time-lag device with an adjustable time constant is connected in one of said branches.
