Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0131742A1] A base station in which the cell boundaries move. By moving the cell boundaries, a stationary or slow moving subscriber station is not disadvantaged with respect to the service it is capable of receiving. In a first exemplary embodiment, a sectorized antenna structure is placed in motion by either rotating the antenna structure or by oscillating the angle of the antenna structure. In a second embodiment, two separate antenna structures with different coverage area divisions are provided and the communications are alternately provided from each of the two antenna structures. It is a further advantage that position location of a subscriber station may be improved by employing the additional information that is available using the motion or multiple configuration of the sectors.
