Abstract:
1. A system for communicating data, the system comprising: circuitry operable to: determine a direction of transmission of a radio frequency signal for each of a plurality of communication devices based on signals received from said plurality of communication devices, the direction of transmission for said each of said plurality of communication devices is determined based at least on an angle of arrival of said received signals; assign neighbor reporting time slots to said plurality of communication devices; receive neighborhood information from said each of said plurality of communication devices during a corresponding neighbor reporting time slot; generate a scheduling matrix based on said determined direction of transmission for said each of said plurality of communication devices; assign signal transmission time slots from a plurality of signal transmission time slots to said plurality of communication devices based on said generated scheduling matrix and said received neighborhood information, wherein one or more of said assigned signal transmission time slots is assigned to said plurality of communication devices; and selectively adjust a data rate to be utilized by said each of said plurality of communication devices to communicate during respective assigned signal transmission time slots based on a computed interference level corresponding to said each of said plurality of communication devices, said interference level being computed based on said signals received from said each of said plurality of communication devices.
