1. An intelligent backhaul system comprising:
- a plurality of intelligent backhaul radios, wherein a first intelligent backhaul radio of said plurality of intelligent backhaul radios comprises;
a plurality of receive RF chains;
one or more transmit RF chains;
an antenna array comprising a plurality of directive gain antenna elements, wherein each directive gain antenna element is couplable to at least one receive RF chain or transmit RF chain;
a radio resource controller, wherein the radio resource controller sets or causes to be set a certain RF carrier frequency or channel bandwidth for at least one receive RF chain or transmit RF chain;
an intelligent backhaul management system agent coupled to the radio resource controller, wherein said intelligent backhaul management system agent sets or causes to be set certain operational parameters, wherein at least one of said certain operational parameters relates to said certain RF carrier frequency or channel bandwidth for at least one receive RF chain or transmit RF chain, and wherein said intelligent backhaul management system agent is in communication with a server configured to manage or control the first intelligent backhaul radio, and wherein said communication provides for a determination of the certain operational parameters based upon service level agreement requirements stored at the server.

Abstract
A intelligent backhaul system is disclosed to manage and control multiple intelligent backhaul radios within a geographic zone. The intelligent backhaul system includes multiple intelligent backhaul radios (IBRs) that are able to function in both obstructed and unobstructed line of sight propagation conditions, one or more intelligent backhaul controllers (IBCs) connecting the IBRs with other network elements, and an intelligent backhaul management system (IBMS). The IBMS may include a private and/or public server and/or agents in one or more IBRs or IBCs.

12. A server comprising:
-
memory; and a processor configured to manage or control a plurality of intelligent backhaul radios, wherein the processor stores data received from the plurality of intelligent backhaul radios in the memory, stores operational parameters used to configure, manage and control the plurality of intelligent backhaul radios in the memory, and generates operational parameters for at least one of the plurality of intelligent backhaul radios, wherein said operational parameters are based upon or derived from service level agreement requirements, and wherein said operational parameters include one or more of a channel frequency parameter, a modulation and coding scheme (MCS) index parameter, a transmit power control (TPC) value, a signal to noise ratio (SNR) or signal to noise and interference ratio (SINR), a superframe timing parameter, an observed interferer parameter, a location parameter, an antenna configuration parameter, and an antenna orientation parameter. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)
