Patent ID: 8160498

Claim:
A method for processing communication signals, the method comprising: establishing a wireless communication link between a wireless portable storage device and a wireless communication device; communicating, via the wireless communication link, one or more parameters between the wireless portable storage device and the wireless communication device to set up a microwave communication link between a first antenna array of the wireless portable storage device and a second antenna array of the wireless communication device, wherein at least one protocol utilized for the wireless communication link is different than at least one protocol utilized for the microwave communication link; adjusting beamforming parameters of the first antenna array, thereby steering the first antenna array toward the second antenna array; and exchanging data between the wireless portable storage device and the wireless communication device via the microwave communication link between the first antenna array and the second antenna array, wherein the second antenna array is steered toward the first antenna array if the data rate of the exchanged data is low.
