Patent ID: 8270383

Claim:
A system for wirelessly communicating with provided wireless devices via a plurality of multiple-input-multiple-output (“MIMO”) antennas, the system comprising: a first radio group comprising a first MIMO physical sector for communicating using a first channel; and a second radio group comprising a second MIMO physical sector for communicating using a second channel; wherein: the first MIMO physical sector overlaps at least 30 percent of an area of the second MIMO physical sector thereby forming an area of overlap; a frequency of the first channel is different from a frequency of the second channel; each radio group respectively further comprises: a phased array; and at least two radios coupled to the phased array, the radios cooperate with the phase array to form a physical sector for each radio, each physical sector having an angle of coverage less than 360 degrees, the physical sector of each radio at least partially overlaps the physical sector of the other radios of the radio group to form the MIMO physical sector of the radio group, the physical sectors of the phased array operate as a MIMO antenna.
