ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for expanding the physical coverage area of a wireless communications network. More specifically, a number of transceivers are connected in a series configuration to a single base station, and each transceiver transmits signals to selected portions (subcells) of the physical coverage area. Each transceiver is connected to a delay unit where all of the delay units are adjusted so that downlink signals transmitted from the single base station will be transmitted from the transceivers to their respective subcells in phase with each other. Since all of the downlink signals from each of the transceivers result from the same downlink signal from the base station and since they are in phase with each other, a wireless unit anywhere in the physical coverage area will receive a downlink signal which is error free. Further, with this invention, when uplink signals are transmitted simultaneously from a number of wireless units in different subcells of the physical coverage area to the transceivers, the selection units will instantaneously select one and only one uplink signal to be received by the base station. Any one of the other simultaneously transmitted signals will be rejected throughout the duration of their signal.
