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 2):
The access point of  claim 1 , wherein the first beamformer comprises a plurality of step-wise controllable phase shift arrangements, each phase shift arrangement being for controlling the phase and not amplitude of signals received from a respective antenna element of the antenna array.
