As shown, the two example cell sites 112, 114 are separately located. That is, the cell sites are at different physical locations than each other. At a minimum, this may mean that the antenna configuration of each cell site is at a different physical location that the antenna configuration of the other cell site, even if a wireless coverage areas of one cell site may overlap in part with a wireless coverage area of the other cell site. By way of example, this arrangement could be provided on a campus or stadium, with cell sites established at various key locations throughout the campus or stadium in an effort to provide seamless wireless coverage. Considering a sports stadium for instance, cell sites could be set up at key locations in the perimeter of the stadium and in a parking area of the stadium.
FIG. 2 is next a simplified top view depiction of a representative cell site antenna configuration, for an example three-sector cell site where each sector comprises two antennas to facilitate 2T2R operation for instance. As shown in FIG. 2, the cell site antenna configuration is arranged to provide three sectors, A, B, and C. To facilitate this, the antenna configuration includes separately for each sector two respective antennas, such as dipole antennas for instance. Thus, as shown, the antenna configuration includes (i) two sector A antennas configured to provide an RF radiation pattern defining sector A, (ii) two sector B antennas configured to provide an RF radiation pattern defining sector B, (iii) two sector B antennas configured to provide an RF radiation pattern. In an alternative configuration, a different number of antennas could be provided per sector, or the antennas could be configured in another way.
