1. A wireless communication system comprising:
- a plurality of co-located, beamforming transceivers, each configured to transmit data to a user equipment on a first channel and associated with a respective directive antenna beam;
a cluster transceiver co-located with the beamforming transceivers, configured to transmit data to the user equipment on a second channel, wherein the cluster transceiver is associated with an antenna pattern having a wider azimuth and lower power than the directive antenna beams respectively associated with each of the plurality of beamforming transceivers; and
a processor to;
monitor whether at least two of the beamforming transceivers have detected data transmission from the user equipment, andbased on the monitoring, allow the cluster transceiver to transmit data to the user equipment.

Abstract
A multibeam access point may include a plurality of co-located, beamforming transceivers, each configured to transmit data to a user equipment on a first channel. The multibeam access point may further include a cluster transceiver co-located with the beamforming transceivers, configured to transmit data to the user equipment on a second channel. A processor or controller may monitor whether at least two of the beamforming transceivers have detected data transmission from the user equipment. Based on the monitoring, the processor may allow the cluster transceiver to transmit data to the user equipment.

9. A method of wireless communication, comprising:
-
transmitting data, by a user equipment, to at least one of a plurality of co-located beamforming transceivers, each of said beamforming transceivers associated with a respective directive antenna beam; monitoring whether at least two of the beamforming transceivers have detected the user equipment on a first channel; and based on the monitoring, allowing data transmission between the user equipment and a cluster transceiver on a second channel, wherein the cluster transceiver is associated with an antenna pattern having a wider azimuth and lower power than the directive antenna beams respectively associated with each of the plurality of beamforming transceivers. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A multibeam access point device, comprising:
-
a plurality of beamforming access points to transmit data to a user equipment on one channel, each of said beamforming access points associated with a respective directive antenna beam; a cluster access point to transmit data to the user equipment on a second channel, wherein the cluster transceiver is associated with an antenna pattern having a wider azimuth and lower power than the directive antenna beams respectively associated with each of the plurality of beamforming transceivers; and a controller to allow registration of the user equipment with the cluster access point if at least two of the beamforming access points detect a registration request from the user equipment. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22)
