Patent ID: 8170496

Claim:
A wireless transceiver comprising: at least one phased array antenna, that transmits an outbound RF signal containing outbound data to at least one remote transceiver and that receives an inbound RF signal containing inbound data from the at least one remote transceiver, wherein the at least one phased array antenna is configurable based on a control signal; an antenna configuration controller, coupled to the at least one phased array antenna, that generates the control signal to configure the at least one phased array antenna to hop among a plurality of radiation patterns based on a hopping sequence, and wherein the antenna configuration controller receives quality data corresponding to each of the plurality of radiation patterns, aggregates the quality data over multiple hops for each of the plurality of radiation patterns and updates the plurality of radiation patterns based on the aggregation of the quality data; and at least one RF transceiver section, coupled to the at least one phased array antenna, that generates the outbound RF signal based on the outbound data and that generates the inbound data based on the inbound RF signal.
