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 6):
The access point of  claim 1 , wherein:\n the sector antenna is arranged to receive signals at a first polarisation and at a second polarisation, different from the first polarisation; the antenna array is arranged to receive signals at a third polarisation and at a fourth polarisation, different from the third polarisation; the first beamformer is configurable to form a first beam from the signals received at the antenna array at the third polarisation; and the access point comprises a second beamformer configurable to form a second beam from signals received at the antenna array at the fourth polarisation; and wherein the selector switch is configured such that in the first state of the selector switch, the signals received at the sector antenna at the first polarisation are connected to a first receiver and the signals from the second beamformer are connected to a second receiver, and in the second state of the selector switch, the signals received from the first beamformer are connected to the first receiver and the signals received at the sector antenna at the second polarisation are connected to the second receiver.
