Abstract:
An apparatus for use in a wireless routing network, the apparatus comprising:an adaptive antennas; at least one transmitter operatively coupled to said adaptive antenna; at least one receiver operatively coupled to said adaptive antenna; control logic operatively coupled to said transmitter and configured to cause said at least one transmitter to output at least one transmission signal to said adaptive antenna to transmit corresponding outgoing multi-beam electromagnetic signals exhibiting a plurality of selectively placed transmission peaks and transmission nulls within a far field region of a coverage area based on routing information; and search receiver logic operatively coupled to said control logic and said at least one receiver and configured to update said routing information based at least in part on cross-correlated signal information that is received by said receiver using said adaptive antenna.
