A multiple access wireless communications architecture provides selective, simultaneous communications with wireless devices located in different sections of a spatial area around a communications apparatus referred to as 'sectors'. In one embodiment, channel allocation techniques for increasing one or more of throughput and coverage in a wireless communications environment. In one embodiment, a mode of operation is selected from a plurality of modes of operation, enabling a wireless communications transmitter to be dynamically configured to reach a wireless communications devices at a greater distance from the transmitter without increased interference between communications channels ('range mode') or to provide wireless communications to a greater number of wireless communications devices within a relatively closer distance to the wireless transmitter (&#x201c;capacity mode&#x201d;) or to provide wireless communications using a single channel to provide wireless communications at a relatively greatest distance from the transmitter (&#x201c;super range mode&#x201d;).
