Claim One:
1. An apparatus, comprising: a spatially diverse antenna array of M antennas, where M is greater than or equal to two; at least one multiple-input and multiple-output/orthogonal frequency division multiplexing-capable transceiver in communication with the spatially diverse antenna array of M antennas; encoding circuitry capable of causing first data to be encoded; decoding circuitry capable of causing second data to be decoded; and processing circuitry capable of causing diversity combining, the processing circuitry in communication with the multiple-input and multiple-output/orthogonal frequency division multiplexing-capable transceiver, the encoding circuitry, and the decoding circuitry, the processing circuitry capable of causing the apparatus to: receive at least two first diverse signals, combine at least two of the at least two first diverse signals, generate at least two second diverse signals based on at least one aspect of the at least two first diverse signals, simultaneously transmit the at least two second diverse signals, wherein the apparatus is configured to operate in a mesh network including at least one first multiple-input and multiple-output-capable node and at least one second multiple-input and multiple-output-capable node in a separate physical location than the at least one first multiple-input and multiple-output-capable node of the mesh network, such that at least one of the at least two second diverse signals is capable of being received by the at least one first multiple-input and multiple-output-capable node of the mesh network, dynamically change a transmit frequency of the at least one of the at least two second diverse signals capable of being received by the at least one first multiple-input and multiple-output-capable node of the mesh network, and dynamically re-route the at least one of the at least two second diverse signals to the at least one second multiple-input and multiple-output-capable node of the mesh network; wherein the apparatus is configured such that the dynamically re-routing of the at least one of the at least two second diverse signals to the at least one second multiple-input and multiple-output-capable node of the mesh network in the separate physical location than the at least one first multiple-input and multiple-output-capable node of the mesh network includes re-routing the at least one of the at least two second diverse signals based on a perceived unacceptable interference associated with the at least one first multiple-input and multiple-output-capable node of the mesh network.
