Abstract
The invention relates to a method and an apparatus using smart antennas in a frequency division duplex code division multiple access mobile communication system and for solving the limitations of smart antenna use due to asymmetric propagation of uplink electric wave and downlink electric wave. In the wireless base station, there are transmitting and receiving smart antenna arrays and associated transmitters and receivers, respectively, and a common baseband signal processor. In the method, the main path direction is determined by signal direction of arrival, obtained from receiving signal; in the downlink beam forming, an expected transmitting beam form is based on the main path direction. The system can obtain advantages of smart antenna, improve cell coverage, increase system capacity and reduce cost.
