Abstract
Embodiments of the invention relate to wireless communications networks, and more specifically to an antenna apparatus for cellular wireless systems. In some embodiments, a method of transceiving signals in a wireless communications network is described. The method includes receiving, by user equipment, a signal in a time slot and a frequency band from a transceiver system, the transceiver system configured to transceive at least one other signal from one or more base stations in at least one other time slot and at least one other frequency band via at least two antenna systems. The frequency bands at least partially overlap and transmissions of the signals are in at least a portion of the wireless communications network.
Claims18
A method of transceiving signals in a wireless communications network, the method comprising:
- receiving, by user equipment, a first signal in a first time slot and a first frequency band from a first antenna system of a transceiver system, the transceiver system configured to transceive a second signal from base station in a second time slot and a second frequency band via a second antenna system of the transceiver system;
- wherein the second time slot is different from the first time slot;
- wherein the first and second frequency bands at least partially overlap, and wherein transmissions of the signals are in at least a portion of the wireless communications network.
A method of transceiving signals in a wireless communications network, comprising:
- receiving, by a user equipment, a first signal in a first allocated time slot and a first frequency band from a a first antenna system of a transceiver system, the transceiver system configured to transceive a second signal from a base station in a second allocated time slot and a second frequency band via a second antenna system of the transceiver system, wherein the second time slot is different from the first time slow, and wherein the second frequency band at least partially overlaps the first frequency band;
- wherein the time slots are allocated in response to a message received by the transceiver, and wherein the transmissions of the signals are in at least a portion of the wireless communications network.
A method of transceiving signals in a wireless communications network, the method comprising:
- transmitting, by a transceiver, a first signal in a first frequency band in a first time slot and a first frequency band to user equipment via a first antenna system;
- and
- transmitting a second signal in a second frequency band in a second time slot to a base station via a second antenna system, wherein the second time slot is different from the first time slot, wherein the second frequency band at least partially overlaps the first frequency band, and wherein transmission of the first and second signals are in at least a portion of the wireless communications network.
