Abstract
In one aspect, adjusting a directional antenna from a first state to a second state to improve a network operation of the directional antenna relative to a mobile node to at least partially compensate for motion of the mobile node. In another aspect, identifying a network operational characteristic; determining a desired directional antenna configuration to direct a directional antenna at least partially with respect to a first mobile node at least partially according to the network operational characteristic; and establishing a directional antenna directionality at least partially according to a desired directional antenna direction.

48. An apparatus comprising:
at least one first mobile node that includes a directional antenna, wherein the directional antenna is operable to be adjusted to improve a network operation of the directional antenna relative to an at least one second mobile node by at least partially compensating for motion of the at least one second mobile node.

49. A method comprising:
-
while communicating between a first mobile directional antenna and a second mobile directional antenna in a communication network, adjusting the first mobile directional antenna to compensate for a motion of the first mobile directional antenna and additionally to compensate for a motion of the second mobile directional antenna. - View Dependent Claims (50, 51, 52, 53)

54. A method comprising:
-
while transmitting and/or receiving signals between a first mobile directional antenna and a second mobile directional antenna in a communication network via a number N of fixed and/or mobile nodes in the network, adjusting a directionality of the first mobile directional antenna to change the number of nodes N that are being used to transmit and/or receive signals between the first and second mobile directional antennas. - View Dependent Claims (55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60)
