Abstract
A control device includes a first transceiver for communicating first control data with a first plurality of devices that utilize the millimeter wave frequency band in accordance with a first protocol, wherein the first transceiver utilizes the millimeter wave frequency band in accordance with the first protocol. A second transceiver communicates second control data with a second plurality of devices that utilize the millimeter wave frequency band in accordance with a second protocol, wherein the second transceiver utilizes the millimeter wave frequency band in accordance with the second protocol. A resource controller allocates resources of the millimeter wave frequency band to the first plurality of devices and the second plurality of devices based on the first control data and the second control data.
