Abstract
A broadband multi-carrier base station for wireless communication, such as cellular telephone or personal communication systems has three sets of broadband transceivers and antennas forming a standard tri-sector or tri-cell coverage pattern. A fourth broadband transceiver coupled to a substantially omni-directional fourth antenna that has a coverage area overlapping the tri-sector or tri-cell coverage pattern. Thus the fourth broadband transceiver and fourth antenna provide redundant communication in the event of a malfunction of one of the other broadband transceivers.
