1. A system, comprising:

  • an access point transmitting a predetermined number of first signals using a first wireless communication mode (“

    FCM”

    ), the predetermined number of the first signals corresponding to a number of transmitting antennas of the access point, the FCM providing a time slot for each of the first signals to be transmitted; and

    a plurality of wireless devices receives each of the first signals, each wireless device utilizes the first signals to generate a first communication matrix;

    wherein each of the wireless devices transmits a second signal to the access point, wherein the access point generates a second communication matrix as a function of the second signals corresponding to a number of selected wireless devices, the number being no greater than the predetermined number, wherein the access point initiates wireless communications with at least one of the selected wireless devices using a second wireless communication mode (“

    SCM”

    ), and wherein, when using the SCM, the access point employs the second communication matrix to resolve multiple wireless communications from the selected wireless devices and each of the selected wireless devices employs the corresponding first communication matrix to resolve multiple wireless communications from the access point during a single time slot over a radio channel.
