1. A method for providing point-to-point wireless communication between a first and second node forming a link, the method comprising:
- providing multiple concurrent transmissions from multiple antennas in an antenna array arrangement in the first node to the second node;
controlling beam patterns of said antennas to reduce interference; and
allocating at least one MIMO (Multiple In Multiple Out) stream to different antennas in said antenna arrangement for said transmissions.

Abstract
A method and point-to-point link for providing point-to-point wireless communication between a first and second node forming a link, the method including providing multiple concurrent transmissions from multiple antennas in an antenna array arrangement in the first node, controlling beam patterns of the antennas to manage deployment interference, and periodically allocating 1 to 3 MIMO (Multiple In Multiple Out) streams to different antennas in said antenna arrangement.

10. A point-to-point link in a wireless communications network, the link comprising:
-
two nodes coupled for wireless communication; each node including an RF transceiver and associated modem; an antenna arrangement in each said node for providing multiple concurrent transmissions; said antennas having beam patterns selected for reducing interference; a controller for allocating at least one MIMO stream to different antennas in said antenna arrangement for said transmissions; and means in said controller for allocating said MIMO streams and allocating modulation to said antennas. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A mobile broadband wireless link comprising:
-
two nodes; each said node including; an RF transceiver with associated modem; an antenna arrangement having a beam pattern selected to improve quality of transmission and reduce interference coupled to said modem and arranged for multiple concurrent transmissions; a MAC controller for controlling said transceiver, modem and antenna arrangement for providing both access and backhaul communication; said controller including means for adaptively allocating at least one MIMO stream to different antennas in said antenna arrangement for said transmissions, depending on link conditions; and said controller including means for allocating modulation to said antennas; further said modem and MAC for providing orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) for data transmitted between said two access points. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19)
