Aspects described herein relate to a network for providing air-to-ground wireless communication in various cells. The network includes a first base station array, each base station of which includes a respective first antenna array defining a directional radiation pattern that is oriented in a first direction, wherein each base station of the first base station array is disposed spaced apart from another base station of the first base station array along the first direction by a first distance. The network also includes a similar second base station array where the second base station array extends substantially parallel to the first base station array and is spaced apart from the first base station array by a second distance to form continuous and at least partially overlapping cell coverage areas between respective base stations of the first and second base station arrays.

Wedge shaped cells in a wireless communication system

A system and method are provided for generating a network design based on existing network assets. One or more parameters regarding a plurality of existing wireless network assets used to provide support for a wireless communication technology can be determined. The plurality of existing wireless network assets are automatically analyzed for supporting equipment of a new wireless communication technology at least in part by comparing a set of specified criteria to the one or more parameters to determine a subset of the plurality of existing wireless network assets. An indication of the subset of the plurality of existing wireless network assets for supporting the equipment of the new wireless communication technology can accordingly be generated.
