1. A dual radio access point (AP) comprising:

  • a first radio operating at 5 GigaHertz (GHz);

    a first directional antenna coupled to the first radio;

    a first transmit queue having stored therein packets for transmission by the first radio;

    a second radio operating at 5 GHz;

    a second directional antenna coupled to the second radio;

    a second transmit queue having stored therein packets for transmission by the second radio;

    a recipient device location determination module configured to compute locations of recipient devices of the packets stored in the first transmit queue and the packets stored in second transmit queue;

    a direction identification module configured to calculate angles within a horizontal plane to direct the first directional antenna and the second directional antenna based on the computed locations;

    an interference detection module configured to determine whether interference would take place if the packets stored in the first transmit queue and the packets stored in the second transmit queue are transmitted based on the calculated angles and estimated timing of transmission; and

    a transmission module configured to transmit the packets stored in the first transmit queue and the packets stored in the second transmit queue via the first radio and the second radio, respectively, without interference between the first directional antenna and the second directional antenna by rescheduling one or more of the packets stored in the first transmit queue or one or more of the packets stored in the second transmit queue when the interference detection module determines that interference would otherwise take place between the first directional antenna and the second directional antenna.
