A system and method for adaptively sectorizing channel resources within a digital cellular communication system is disclosed herein. The system includes an antenna arrangement for providing at least first and second electromagnetic beams for receiving a first information signal transmitted by a specific one of a plurality of users, thereby generating first and second received signals. A first set of beam-forming signals are then generated from the first and second received signals. A demodulating receiver is provided for demodulating at least first and second beam-forming signals included within the first set of beam-forming signals, thereby producing first and second demodulated signals. The system further includes a tracking network for tracking multipath information signals, received from various positions and angles of incidence, based on comparison of the first and second demodulated signals.

A digital communication system in which information signals are communicated among a plurality of users, said system comprising: means for providing at least first and second electromagnetic beams for receiving components of said information signals transmitted by said users; means for allocating said first electromagnetic beam to receive a first of said information signal components transmitted over a first transmission path so as to generate a first received signal, said first information signal component comprising at least a portion of a first information signal transmitted by a first of said users; means for generating a first beam signal from said first received signal; a first beam tracking network for generating a first beam tracking signal by demodulating said first beam signal; and beam switching means for spatially tracking said first signal component by assigning said second electromagnetic beam to receive said first signal component based upon said first beam tracking signal.
