Communication system having optimum resource arrangements in a multi-sectored environment and method therefor

A method for configuring a plurality of base stations within a cell of a wireless communication system, comprising the steps of:

• implementing a first base station in the cell of the wireless communication system;
• implementing a second base station in the cell of the wireless communication system;
• enabling the first base station to control the transmission and reception of information to and from substantially only a fast plurality of adjacent sectors of the cell;
• enabling the second base station to control the transmission and reception of information to and from substantially only a second plurality of adjacent sectors of the cell;
• and
• wherein the wireless communication system implements a code division multiple access technology (CDMA).

A wireless communication system having a first cell with a plurality of sectors, wherein the first cell comprises:

• a first base station having a first plurality of directional antennas for communicating information, each of the first plurality of directional antennas communicating information with a first portion of the plurality of sectors;
• a second base station having a second plurality of directional antennas for communicating information, each of the second plurality of directional antennas communicating information with a second portion of the plurality of sectors,
• wherein the first portion of the plurality of sectors and the second portion of the plurality of sectors are distinct;
• and
• wherein the wireless communication system implements a code division multiple access technology (CDMA).
