Abstract
A method and an apparatus for processing downlink signals in different sectors, which may be applied in processing downlink signals in a one or more sectored cell. The method and apparatus may include a Node B determining a sector where a mobile terminal, which has built a wireless link with the Node B, is located based on a current connection. The method and apparatus may allow Node B to separately schedule resources of the one or more sectors in the cell, and for one or more mobile equipment which has built a wireless link with the Node B. The method and apparatus allows Node B transmitting of downlink signals to this mobile terminal only in the sector where the mobile terminal locates currently, while processing downlink signals in different sectors. The method and apparatus can reduce downlink transmission power and improve network coverage quality.
