Claim 19:
20. A method for wireless communication, comprising:
receiving, using two or more first antenna elements of a first antenna array coupled with a first beamforming network that is configured to receive one or more receive beams of a plurality of receive beams, one or more first signals associated with the one or more receive beams;
coupling, using a switching network between the first beamforming network and a second beamforming network that is configured to transmit one or more transmit beams of a plurality of transmit beams, one or more outputs of a plurality of outputs of the first beamforming network with one or more inputs of a plurality of inputs of the second beamforming network based at least in part on a configuration that maps the one or more receive beams to the one or more transmit beams, wherein the configuration to couple the one or more outputs of the first beamforming network with the one or more inputs of the second beamforming network provides at least one signal path for each of the one or more receive beams; and
transmitting, using two or more second antenna elements of a second antenna array coupled with the second beamforming network, one or more second signals associated with the one or more transmit beams based at least in part on the received one or more first signals associated with the one or more receive beams.
