Claim:
1. A wireless communications system comprising: a communication center; a first wireless access point coupled to said communication center; a second wireless access point coupled to said communication center, wherein said first and second wireless access points are spatially separated; and a first user terminal configured to wireless communicate with said first and second wireless access points, wherein said first user terminal comprises a first beam-forming processor configured to apply multiple first weighting factors to multiple signal samples so as to generate multiple first weighted samples and to combine said first weighted samples into a first beam, a second beam-forming processor configured to apply multiple second weighting factors to said signal samples so as to generate multiple second weighted samples and to combine said second weighted samples into a second beam and a combiner configured to combine first data derived from said first beam and second data derived from said second beam.
