Abstract
Disclosed is a wireless backhaul network for a communications system. The network comprises a congregate node connected to the communications system; a plurality of access points, each access point having associated amounts of incident bidirectional traffic to be conveyed to and from the congregate node; and a plurality of bidirectional wireless links adapted to convey the traffic between the access points and the congregate node. The congregate node is configured to allocate spectrum to each directional component of each link within a predetermined available spectrum for the conveyance of the traffic, wherein the allocation is dependent on the amounts of traffic at the respective access points.
