Abstract
Adaptive selection of antenna configurations by wireless nodes that comprise a plurality of antenna elements adapted for a plurality of different antenna configurations. The selection of the antenna configuration is made based on the quality of signal(s) received by the wireless node. The wireless nodes are operable for communication in the mm-wave frequency band and, in specific embodiments, the different antenna configurations include two or more of a wide-coverage area antenna configuration, a Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) configuration and a Beamforming (BF) configuration.
