Phased array radio frequency network for mobile communication
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- receiving, by a first phased array antenna beam at an access node of a phased array communication network, a radio frequency “
RF”
modulated data packet comprising a header and payload data;
demodulating the header while maintaining the payload data in RF modulated format;
identifying route information within the demodulated header; and
transmitting, by a second phased array antenna beam from the access node in accordance with the route information, the RF modulated data packet.

Abstract
Systems and methods according to one or more embodiments are provided for routing wireless mobile communication signals using a phased array communication network. In one example, a system includes a plurality of phased array antennas configured to receive an RF modulated data packet. The RF modulated data packet includes a header and payload data. A demodulator circuit is provided to demodulate the header to identify route information while maintaining the payload data in RF modulated format. The phased array antennas are configured to transmit a high bandwidth narrow antenna beam comprising the RF modulated data packet in accordance with the route information. Maintaining the payload data in RF modulated format during the route provides for high bandwidth and high data rate transmission required of today'"'"'s wireless mobile communication networks.
