Abstract
System enhancement(s) are disclosed that can add capabilities, such as, using Frequency Division Multiple Access (FDMA) and/or Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) and/or Frequency Division Duplex (FDD) capabilities along with Multi-Input Multi-Output (MIMO) antennas and/or Global Positioning System (GPS) synchronization. The use of two radios in both the base-station and the subscriber-station, i.e., customer premises equipment (CPE), e.g., can allow frequency division to be utilized, exploiting higher receive gains at the CPE while not affecting transmissions occurring on the other radio'"'"'s frequency.
