Patent ID: 7688835

Claim:
A method of communicating data comprising: from a plurality of backhaul sites that are each configured to wirelessly communicate with a particular access point, dynamically selecting at least a first backhaul site; dynamically configuring at least one transmission parameter used to communicate a first backhaul data stream between the access point and the first backhaul site, wherein the at least one transmission parameter is selected from a group consisting of a transmit power, a data encoding scheme, a modulation scheme, and a transmission protocol; dynamically selecting at least a second backhaul site; deriving the first backhaul data stream from a source data stream; deriving at least a second backhaul data stream from the source data stream; wirelessly communicating the first backhaul data stream between the access point and the first backhaul site; wirelessly communicating the second backhaul data stream between the access point and the second backhaul site; and combining the first backhaul data stream with the second backhaul data stream.
