1. In a CDMA cellular/PCS telecommunications network, a telecommunications cell comprising:
- an antenna site configured into a plurality of sectors, with each sector having a first and a second antenna; and
a base station unit coupled with said antennas and operable for controlling transmission and reception thereover using selected ones of a defined set of CDMA codes for each of said sectors at a first frequency for the first antenna in each sector and using selected ones of a defined set of CDMA codes for each of said sectors at a second frequency for the second antenna in each sector.

Abstract
A CDMA cellular/PCS telecommunications cell of increased capacity includes a plurality of sectors controlled by a base station unit using a defined set of CDMA codes for each sector. Capacity is increased by adding a second base station unit operating at a different, non-interfering frequency.
