Abstract:
Apparatuses, methods, and systems for simultaneous communication through multiple beams of a wireless node, are disclosed. One apparatus includes a node, that includes a beamforming network, an antenna array, and a controller. The beamforming network operates to receive a plurality of communication signals and generate a plurality of delayed signals. The antenna array generates an antenna pattern that includes a plurality of beams, wherein the plurality of beams is divided into a plurality of groups. The controller operates to control simultaneous communication of the node with a plurality of transceivers, including the node communicating with a first transceiver through a selected beam of a first group of beams and simultaneously the node communicating with another transceiver through a corresponding beam of another group of beams.
