Claim One:
1. A directional communication node for use with a first communication node and a second communication node, the first communication node being located at a first position and being operable to transmit first topology information related to the first communication node, the second communication node being located at a second position and being operable to transmit second topology information related to the second communication node, said directional communication node comprising: a directional transmitting portion operable to transmit a first output signal in a first direction toward the first communication node and to output a second output signal in a second direction toward the second communication node; a receiving portion operable to receive the first topology information and the second topology information; a parameter determining portion operable to determine a first communication channel value and a second communication channel value, the first communication channel value being based on the first topology information, the second communication channel value being based on the second topology information; and an optimization portion operable to determine an optimized communication path based on the first communication channel value and the second communication channel value, wherein said optimization portion is operable to generate a connection instruction based on the optimized communication path, and wherein said directional transmitting portion is further operable to establish a first communication channel with one of the first communication node and the second communication node based on the connection instruction.
