Claim:
1. A method of communicating data to a mobile communication device that is configured to communicate with a plurality of network devices, wherein the mobile communication device and each of said plurality of network devices comprises a plurality of distributed transceivers, each distributed transceiver comprising an antenna array comprising a plurality of antennas, the method comprising: identifying a first pair of transceivers comprising a first transceiver of the mobile communication device and a transceiver of a first network device of said plurality of network devices to communicate a first data stream from the first network device to the mobile communication device; identifying a second pair of transceivers comprising a second transceiver of the mobile communication device and a transceiver of a second network device of said plurality of network devices to communicate a second data stream from the second network device to the mobile communication device; receiving information regarding a location of the mobile communication device; based on the received location information of the mobile communication device, identifying antenna patterns for the antenna arrays of the first and second pairs of transceivers such that a cross-interference between the first and second data streams at the mobile communication device is below a threshold; and coordinating a concurrent communication of (i) the first data stream using the antenna pattern identified for the first pair of transceivers and (ii) the second data stream using the antenna pattern identified for the second pair of transceivers.
