Patent ID: 8111678

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 at least partially overlaps the second MIMO physical sector thereby forming an area of overlap; the first channel is different from the second channel; each radio group respectively further comprises: at least two directional antennas; and at least two radios, each radio selectively couples to at least one antenna, a physical sector of each antenna coupled to one radio is positioned to at least partially overlap the physical sector of each antenna coupled to the other radios thereby forming the MIMO physical sector of the radio group, the antennas coupled to the at least two radios operate as a MIMO antenna.
