Abstract
An antenna tower generates two or more radiation patterns and selects the best pattern for receiving communications from a subscriber based on signal strength and/or signal quality. The antenna tower uses the radiation pattern selected for receiving the communications from the subscriber for conducting communications to the subscriber.
Claims17
A system for communicating signals from subscribers to a basestation, the system comprising a first antenna and one or more additional antennas;
- and each antenna is comprised of two or more antenna elements spaced apart in a vertical direction from one another, wherein the antenna element may be of any antenna technology suitable for communicating the signals, including but not limited to omnidirectional antennas, dipoles, slotted antennas, horns and arrays.
A system for communicating signals from subscribers to a basestation, the system comprising a first antenna and one or more additional antennas;
