First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of communicating backhaul data comprising:
- from a plurality of backhaul sites that are each configured to wirelessly communicate with an access point, dynamically selecting a first backhaul site to establish a backhaul communication link with the access point; and
dynamically beam steering backhaul signals communicated between the access point and the backhaul site.

Abstract
A communication system and a method of communicating backhaul data. The communication system can include a controller. The controller can dynamically select from a plurality of backhaul sites at least a first backhaul site to establish a backhaul communication link with an access point. The controller also can generate a control signal that indicates to the access point to beam steer a backhaul signal to the first backhaul site. The access point can include a phased array that dynamically beam steers the backhaul signal in azimuth and elevation.
