Patent ID: 8315326

Claim:
An apparatus, comprising: an antennae array of M antennae, where M is greater than or equal to two; at least one multiple-input and multiple-output capable transceiver in communication with the antennae array of M antennae; and processing circuitry, the processing circuitry in communication with the multiple-input and multiple-output capable transceiver, the processing circuitry capable of causing the apparatus to: receive a particular signal from at least one of a plurality of multiple input-capable nodes, where first information is received that is associated with the at least one multiple input-capable node and is capable of being used for weight determination; identify second information; apply at least one weight to transmit data based on the first information; add a cyclic prefix to the transmit data; and generate third information based on the second information and the particular signal; wherein the apparatus is configured such that the at least one multiple-input-and-multiple-output/orthogonal frequency division multiplexing-capable transceiver is capable of transmitting at least one downlink signal including at least a portion of the transmit data to the at least one multiple input-capable node; wherein the apparatus is further configured such that the at least one multiple-input-and-multiple-output/orthogonal frequency division multiplexing-capable transceiver is capable of transmitting the at least one downlink signal such that the at least portion of the transmit data is redundantly transmitted utilizing a plurality of different diversity channels that differ in at least one of a spatial respect or a polarization respect; wherein the apparatus is further configured such that the third information is transmitted to the at least one multiple input-capable node such that a power level with which the at least one multiple input-capable node transmits is capable of being set based on the third information; wherein the apparatus is further configured so as to allow dynamic routing utilizing another route different from a previous route; wherein the apparatus is further configured such that the dynamic routing includes allowing routing as a function of an interference associated with at least one link.
