Patent ID: 8423084

Claim:
A method for radio communication in a wireless local area network including a plurality of transceiving devices, the method comprising: scanning simultaneously by each of a plurality of transceiving devices of a wireless local area network, the scanning performed by a direction-agile antenna of each of the plurality of transceiving devices operating in a scanning directional mode, each of the plurality of transceiving devices having means for operating the direction-agile antenna in the scanning direction mode, an omni-directional mode and a stationary directional mode; transmitting an omni-directional signal in the form of a calibration signal by a transmitting device of the plurality of transceiving devices of the wireless local area network, the transmitting device operating in an omni-directional mode; receiving the calibration signal as a result of the scanning by the plurality of transceiving devices in the scanning directional mode; orienting the direction-agile antenna of each of the plurality of transceiving devices operating in the scanning directional mode in the direction of the transmitting device operating in omni-directional mode wherein a recognition and the orientation of the direction-agile antenna of each of the plurality of transceiving devices operating in the scanning directional mode is performed in the course of the reception of the calibration signal and each of the plurality of transceiving devices operate in a stationary directional mode; transmitting a data package from the transmitting device in the omni-directional mode; and receiving the data package from the direction at which the direction-agile antenna of each of the plurality of transceiving devices operating in the stationary directional mode has been oriented.
