Abstract
A novel system is disclosed for WLAN applications. The inventive system mitigates the problem of interference by overlaying an omni-directional pattern with a plurality of directional beams, where each beam covers only part of the serving area defined by the omni-directional pattern. After an initial communication from the subscriber stations along the omni-directional pattern, the directional beam that provides the best signal quality is determined and the access point thereafter communicates with that subscriber station using only the beam with the best signal quality. The inventive concept can be expanded to encompass MIMO WLAN systems.
