Claim Text:
1. A method for use in a wireless network comprising a base station and a plurality of subscriber stations in wireless, radio frequency (RF), time division duplex (TDD) communication with the base station, the method comprising: for each of the subscriber stations, establishing, by a set of one or more hardware processors, a plurality of associated connections on a RF communication link between the base station and the subscriber station; assigning a connection identifier (CID) to each of the connections using the set of one or more hardware processors; monitoring communication traffic on the connections by the set of one or more hardware processors; setting, by the set of one or more hardware processors, for each of the connections a modulation format of the RF communication link from the base station to the associated subscriber station based upon the monitored communication traffic; assigning, by the set of one or more hardware processors, each of the connections to at least one of a plurality of modulation groups based on a combination of at least the modulation format for the connection and a beam forming for the connection; causing transmission of signals by the set of one or more hardware processors on connections assigned to a first of the plurality of modulation groups in a first group of adjacent TDD slots within a TDD frame; and causing transmission of signals by the set of one or more hardware processors on connections assigned to a second of the plurality of modulation groups in a second group of adjacent TDD slots within the TDD frame.
