Abstract:
An access point ( 1 ) for use in a point to multipoint wireless network comprises a sector antenna ( 8 ) and an antenna array of antenna elements ( 7 ), the antenna elements not including the sector antenna, and the antenna elements being arranged to receive signals from the same sector as the sector antenna. A first beamformer ( 10 ) is configurable to form a first beam ( 11 ) from signals received at the antenna array and a selector switch ( 5 ) is switchable to at least a first state in which signals received at the sector antenna ( 8 ) are connected to a first receiver ( 2 ), and a second state in which signals received from the first beamformer ( 10 ) are connected to the first receiver ( 2 ). A scheduler is configured to set the selector switch ( 5 ) to the first state for at least a first receive timeslot and to the second state for at least a second receive timeslot.

Claim (Index 15):
The method of  claim 10 , comprising:\n receiving signals at the sector antenna at a first polarisation and at a second polarisation, different from the first polarisation; receiving signals at the antenna array at a third polarisation and at a fourth polarisation, different from the third polarisation; configuring the first beamformer to form a first beam from the signals received at the antenna array at the third polarisation; configuring a second beamformer to form a second beam from signals received at the antenna array at the fourth polarisation; and controlling the selector switch to: in the first timeslot, connect the signals received at the sector antenna at the first polarisation to the first receiver and connect the signals from the second beamformer to a second receiver, and in the second timeslot, connect the signals received from the first beamformer to the first receiver and connect the signals received at the sector antenna at the second polarisation to the second receiver.
