Abstract
A communication system has a first plurality of wireless basestations having adaptive antennas with a plurality of main array antenna elements for generating a plurality of communication beams. The system further includes a gateway station coupled to the first plurality of wireless basestations. The gateway station forms a plurality of beam commands by communicating a plurality of control signals to the first plurality of wireless basestations to form the communication beams. A second plurality of wireless base stations having a second plurality of adaptive antennas with a second plurality of main array antenna elements for generating a plurality of communication beams to communicate with said mobile user and a fixed user. The beams include a first link and a second link from the first plurality of basestations that communicate with the fixed user terminal and a third link and fourth link from the second plurality of wireless basestations to communicate with the mobile user terminal.
