Abstract
Methods and apparatus for antennas, wireless cells and networks are described. Antennas use a shield to provide a shape of coverage, area of coverage, and channel assignment pattern configured for high throughput wireless cells and networks. Diplexers are used to form wireless cells configured for high throughput wireless cells and networks.

12. A method for facilitating wireless communication, comprising:
-
selecting at least two shields, wherein each of the shields has an antenna and at least two coverage lobes, wherein each coverage lobe extends from the antenna and uses the channel assigned to the antenna;
stacking each of the shields; and
,rotating each of the shields, whereby the coverage lobes from each of the shields form at least one of an overlapping coverage pattern and a non-overlapping coverage pattern. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
