1. A method for multiple input multiple output (MIMO) multi-frequency transmission of data by a MIMO radio comprising a first and second set of antennae, wherein the first and second set of antennae each comprise a vertically polarized antenna and a horizontally polarized antenna, the method comprising:
- transmitting or receiving data on the first set of antennae using a first frequency;
transmitting or receiving the data on the second set of antennae using a second frequency;
measuring upload bandwidth use and download bandwidth use of the MIMO radio; and
selectively adjusting any of an available upload bandwidth or an available download bandwidth of the MIMO radio in response to the upload bandwidth use and the download bandwidth use.

9. A multiple input multiple output (MIMO) radio, comprising:
-
a processor; a memory coupled to the processor, the memory storing multi-frequency transmission logic; a first set of antennae comprising a first vertically polarized antenna and a first horizontally polarized antenna; and a second set of antennae comprising a second vertically polarized antenna and a second horizontally polarized antenna; wherein the processor executes the multi-frequency transmission logic to cause the first set of antennae to transmit or receive data using a first frequency, to cause the second set of antennae to transmit or receive the data using a second frequency, to measure upload bandwidth use and download bandwidth use of the MIMO radio, and to selectively adjust any of an available upload bandwidth or an available download bandwidth of the MIMO radio in response to the upload bandwidth use and the download bandwidth use. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
