Claim 16:
17. A method, comprising:
in a communication device comprising a primary sector that includes a baseband signal processor and a first radio head (RH) unit, and at least one secondary sector that is communicatively coupled to the primary sector and includes a second RH unit:
receiving a first beam of input RF signals associated with a first beam pattern from a base station, or transmitting the first beam of the input RF signals associated with the first beam pattern to the base station, wherein the first beam of the input RF signals is received or transmitted by a first antenna array of the first RH unit;
selecting a first portion of subcarriers in the first beam of the input RF signals associated with the first beam pattern that is decoded;
relaying the remaining portion of subcarriers in the first beam of the first input RF signals associated with the first beam pattern towards a plurality of user equipment (UEs) without demodulation while maintaining a final error vector magnitude (EVM) target at the plurality of UEs based on the selection of the first portion of subcarriers in the first beam of the first input RF signals associated with the first beam pattern that is decoded;
extracting, by a controller, control information based on the first portion of subcarriers in the first beam of the first input RF signals associated with the first beam pattern that is processed and the remaining portion of subcarriers in the first beam of the first input RF signals associated with the first beam pattern;
assign a different timeslot from a plurality of available timeslots to each of the plurality of UE based on scheduling information in a received first beam of the first input RF signals;
detecting a location of each of the plurality of UE's based on each of a received signal strength indicator (RSSI) associated with each UE of the plurality of UE's; and
generating, by the controller, beamforming coefficients to convert the first beam pattern of the first beam of the input RF signals to a second beam pattern based on the control information, a first operating mode of a plurality of operating modes, the assigned different timeslot, and the detected location, wherein the first operating mode is a switching multi-beam mode, and wherein the switching multi-beam mode comprises dynamically switching between the first beam and the second beam for communication with the plurality of UE's, wherein the second beam is wider than the first beam; and
receiving a second beam of output RF signals in the second beam pattern from the plurality of UEs or transmitting the second beam of the output RF signals in the second beam pattern to the plurality of UEs, by a second antenna array of the second RH unit.
