A system and method is disclosed for providing concurrent data transmissions
in
a wireless communication network. The invention comprises a register unit within
a base transceiver station that prepares data packets to be transmitted to mobile
stations within a plurality of cell sectors. The register unit identifies the cell
sector destination of each data packet in a first data call and sends the data
packet to a buffer associated with the cell sector destination. The buffers store
their respective data packets for each cell sector in a first subframe of a data
frame. The buffers send their respective data packets within the first subframe
to their respective antennas. The data packets for each cell sector are then concurrently
transmitted during the first subframe. Data packets of a second data call are transmitted
during the second and third subframe so that two data calls are concurrently transmitted.
