ABSTRACT:
A method and system for distributing subscriber services to a number of user locations in a broadband cellular network. A bidirectional antenna array located at a number of cell centers provides coverage over a wide service area by using wireless distribution loops. The cell centers broadcast subscriber services over designated channels and a user at the subscriber site location commands a centralized mechanism to switch to the channel broadcasting the requested service. The duplication of service channels is minimized and the number of subscribers is maximized by allowing channel selection to occur at various points in the distribution network. Each antenna in the array is configured to provide the subscriber service to a particular service segment. These segments include subscriber location sites with processing equipment to request and receive the services in the form of information programs, data, signaling, etc.
