Claim 11:
12. A communication device, comprising:
a first master component, comprising:
a processor; and
a plurality of antennas communicatively coupled to the processor; and

a plurality of slave components, each slave component comprising:
a first antenna for wireless communication with a plurality of external devices by a beamforming operation on a first carrier frequency;
a second antenna for wireless communication with the plurality of antennas of the first master component by the beamforming operation on a second carrier frequency,
wherein the first carrier frequency and the second carrier frequency are in same frequency band, and
wherein the communication device further comprises a set of master components other than the first master component,

wherein the processor is configured to:
select one or more master components from the set of master components to directly communicate with the first master component;
select a set of slave components from the plurality of slave components to communicate a plurality of data streams with one or more external devices of the plurality of external devices, wherein the set of slave components is selected from the plurality of slave components based on a set of criteria; and
perform beamforming for the set of slave components to maximize power of a signal received at the one or more external devices from the set of slave components.
