Patent ID: 8560028

Claim:
An antenna system, comprising: a first antenna and a second antenna; a first processing unit and a second processing unit, the first processing unit configured for connection to the first antenna, the second processing unit configured for connection to the second antenna; and a router, the router configured for connection to the first processing unit and the second processing unit, the router configured for connection to a communication system, the router further configured for receiving a plurality of concurrent communication control inputs from the communication system, wherein the plurality of concurrent communication control inputs includes at least three concurrent communication control inputs, the router further configured for selectively routing the received concurrent communication control inputs to the first processing unit and the second processing unit, wherein the router is further configured for routing at least two received concurrent communication control inputs to a particular processing unit of the first processing unit and the second processing unit, wherein the router selectively routes the received concurrent communication control inputs based upon: a number of antennas being implemented in the antenna system; a number of concurrent communication control inputs received by the antenna system; and a type of concurrent communication control input received by the antenna system, wherein the first processing unit and the second processing unit are configured, based upon the received concurrent communication control inputs, for establishing settings of the first processing unit and the second processing unit for causing the first antenna and the second antenna to concurrently transmit and receive communications.
