Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 0:
1. A communication device, comprising:
a first master component, comprising:
a radio modem configured to transmit and receive signals;
a processor; and
an antenna communicatively coupled to the radio modem and the processor; and

a plurality of slave components, each slave component comprising:
a first antenna for wireless communication with an external device by a beamforming operation on a first carrier frequency; and
a second antenna for wireless communication with the antenna 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 a 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 the external device, wherein each of the plurality of data streams comprises same content; and
perform beamforming for the set of slave components to maximize power of a signal received at the external device from the set of slave components.
