In many cellular systems, reusing spectrum bandwidth creates problems in , boundary regions between the cells and sectors where the signal strength received from adjacent base stations or adjacent sector transmissions of a single base station may be nearly equivalent. The invention creates a new type of diversity, referred to as multiple carrier diversity by utilizing multiple carriers, assigning different power levels to each carrier frequency at each base station, and/or offsetting sector antennas. The cell and/or sector coverage areas can be set so as to minimize or eliminate overlap between cell and/or sector boundary regions of different carrier frequencies. Mobile nodes …

Why it's free to use
- Filed August 7, 2003 and granted April 16, 2013. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended August 7, 2023.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by August 7, 2025.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
