An apparatus for increasing a cell capacity in a mobile communication system
using
an adaptive sectorization and a method for controlling the same. The apparatus
comprises an adaptive sector unit for converting radio frequency (RF) signals of
two forward paths into beam signals of m forward paths in a forward link and beam
signals of m reverse paths into RF signals of two reverse paths in a reverse link
in consideration of a user distribution of each sector based on a received signal
strength indicator (RSSI) of each sector, respectively, an analog beam former for
forming a multibeam of fixed beams y and variable beams x for each sector, and
converting beam signals into antenna signals in the forward link and antenna signals
into beam signals in the reverse link, respectively, a power amplifier for power-amplifying
antenna signals of n forward paths for each sector from the analog beam former,
and a front-end unit for, in the forward link, receiving n-path antenna signals
of each sector from the power amplifier and transmitting the received antenna signals
through a multi-array antenna module for each sector, and for, in the reverse link,
receiving n-path antenna signals from the multi-array antenna module for each sector
and performing noise removal and filtering functions with respect to the received
antenna signals.
