Patent ID: 8315327

Claim:
An apparatus, comprising: at least two antennas; a multiple-input-and-multiple-output/orthogonal frequency division multiplexing-capable transceiver in communication with each of the at least two antennas; encoding circuitry capable of causing first data to be encoded; decoding circuitry capable of causing second data to be decoded; processing circuitry capable of working in association with the at least one multiple-input-and-multiple-output/orthogonal frequency division multiplexing-capable transceiver, the encoding circuitry, and the decoding circuitry, the processing circuitry capable of causing the apparatus to: identify information associated with at least one of a plurality of multiple input-capable nodes, the information including first information that is capable of being used to base weights upon, and second information that is node-specific; apply the weights to transmit data, where the weights are based upon the first information; add a cyclic prefix to the transmit data; and generate third information based upon the second information; 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 causing transmission of at least one signal including at least a portion of the transmit data to the at least one multiple input-capable node, where the third information is transmitted to the at least one multiple input-capable node for setting a power level with which the at least one multiple input-capable node transmits; wherein the apparatus is configured so as to dynamically change a transmit channel to another channel different from a previous channel associated with the at least one signal transmitted to the at least one multiple input-capable node; wherein the apparatus is further configured so as to allow dynamic routing of an additional signal utilizing another route different from a previous route associated with the at least one signal; wherein the apparatus is further configured such that the dynamic routing of the additional signal includes allowing routing of the additional signal as a function of an interference associated with at least one link.
