1. A communication system, comprising:
- a directional antenna;
a transmitter, which is arranged to transmit first signals in a first frequency band to a remote communication system over a point-to-point communication link via the directional antenna during first time intervals; and
a receiver, which is arranged to receive second signals in a second frequency band, different from the first frequency band, from the remote communication system over the point-to-point communication link via the directional antenna only during second time intervals that do not overlap the first time intervals.

Abstract
A communication system includes a directional antenna. The system includes a transmitter, which is arranged to transmit first signals in a first frequency band to a remote communication system over a point-to-point communication link via the directional antenna during first time intervals. The system further includes a receiver, which is arranged to receive second signals in a second frequency band, different from the first frequency band, from the remote communication system over the point-to-point communication link via the directional antenna only during second time intervals that do not overlap the first time intervals.

14. A method for communication, comprising:
-
transferring first signals in a first frequency band from a first communication system to a second communication system over a point-to-point communication link during first time intervals; and transferring second signals in a second frequency band, different from the first frequency band, from the second communication system to the first communication system over the point-to-point communication link only during second time intervals that are selected so as not to overlap any of the first intervals. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25)

26. A communication link, comprising:
-
a first communication system, comprising; a first directional antenna; a first transmitter, which is arranged to transmit first signals in a first frequency band via the first directional antenna during first time intervals; and a first receiver, which is arranged to receive second signals in a second frequency band, different from the first frequency band, via the first directional antenna only during second time intervals that do not overlap the first time intervals; and a second communication system, comprising; a second directional antenna; a second transmitter, which is arranged to transmit the second signals to the first communication system in the second frequency band via the second directional antenna during the second time intervals; and a second receiver, which is arranged to receive the first signals from the first communication system in the first frequency band, via the second directional antenna during the first time intervals. - View Dependent Claims (27, 28, 29, 30)
