1. A wireless bus system, comprising:

  • a plurality of wireless-enabled components (WECs) wirelessly coupled via a plurality of wireless links; and

    a controller configured to dynamically adapt a wireless link of the plurality of wireless links based on positions of the plurality of WECs relative to each other, available capabilities of the plurality of WECs, available resources at the plurality of WECs, or a physical environment of the wireless bus system;

    wherein a first WEC of the plurality of WECs comprises;

    a wireless transceiver configured to communicate over the wireless link;

    a directional antenna coupled to the wireless transceiver; and

    a microelectromechanical system (MEMS)-based actuator coupled to the directional antenna; and

    wherein the controller is further configured to cause the MEMS-based actuator to steer the directional antenna and to dynamically adapt the wireless link from RF to optical or proximity coupling.
