Dynamic sectorization in a spread spectrum communication system

In a cellular subscriber communication system in which users within at least one cell communicate information signals between one another via at least one cell-site using spread spectrum communication signals wherein each of said at least one cell-site includes a cell-site transmitter network, said transmitter network comprising:

• a delay circuit for receiving a first set of spread spectrum information signals and generating a second sets of spread spectrum information signals from said first set of spread spectrum information signals by delaying by a predetermined time period each of said spread spectrum information signals included within said first set of spread spectrum information signals;
• a first antenna, configured to receive said first set of spread spectrum information signals and transmit said first set of spread spectrum information signals to a first coverage area within a cell;
• and
• a second antenna, coupled to the delay circuit, configured to transmit said second set of spread spectrum information signals to a second coverage area within said cell,
• wherein said first user sector includes said first coverage area when said second set of spread spectrum information signals is not transmitted and includes said first and second coverage areas when said first and second sets of spread spectrum information signals are transmitted.

A method of conveying information to at least one user in a spread spectrum communication system, said method comprising the steps of:

• generating a first PN signal of a first predetermined PN code;
• combining said first PN signal and a first information signal, and generating a first modulated information signal;
• selectively generating a first modulation signal from said first modulated information signal;
• selectively generating a second modulation signal from said first modulated information signal, said second modulation signal delayed from said first modulation signal by a predetermined time period;
• and
• transmitting said first and second modulation signals respectively to first and second coverage areas defining boundaries of a first user sector;
• and
• whereby boundaries of said first user sector are adjusted by transmitting only one of said first and second modulation signals to a respective coverage area.
