1. A method for dynamic sector creation, comprising:
- determining that a first sector of a cell is overloaded, wherein the first sector uses a first pseudo noise (PN) code;
upon determining that the first sector of the cell is overloaded, creating a second sector of the cell within the first sector, wherein the second sector uses a second PN code that is different from the first PN code; and
transferring one or more mobile stations from the first sector to the second sector,wherein determining that the first sector of the cell is overloaded comprises comparing the load of the first sector with a loading threshold, wherein the first sector is overloaded if the load of the first sector is greater than the loading threshold.
