Communication networks, such as local area networks (LAN), wired networks, wireless networks, wide area networks (WAN), the Internet, etc., can be used to transfer data between two or more entities. These entities may communicate using various protocols or media types. In this context, “communication” can refer to transmitting and/or receiving data, multimedia, audio, video, etc. “Communication” can be sent using various modalities including, but not limited to, phone calls, short message service (SMS), voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), data-over-cable service interface specification (DOCSIS), Internet Protocol Television (IPTV), Digital Multimedia Broadcasting (DMB), Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service (MBMS), wireless communication technologies (e.g., Wi-Fi, WiMAX, etc.), etc.
A wireless communication network, such as a wireless network, can be made up of multiple base stations that serve a defined geographic area or cell with a particular cell size. The cell size can vary from, for example, 1,000 feet to 3,000 feet. The cells can be sized and organized as a non-overlapping group of cells to form a cellular coverage area. The cells can be autonomous, a part of a core network that is connected to other parts of the core network using wireline and/or radio connections, or a combination of both. Each cell can also be associated with a respective radio access network (RAN) and an entity such as a base station controller (BSC) that manages the network (i.e., base station and associated RAN) and handles communication between various network entities. The BSC can also handle radio link management (RLM) within the cell.
The base stations can be distributed across the geographic area, and an access point (AP) can be positioned within the cell and used for communicating with wireless clients (e.g., mobile phones, smart phones, portable computers, etc.). Other types of wireless networks can include relay systems, relay points, repeaters, etc., that assist in communicating between base stations and wireless clients.
Traditionally, communication in a wireless network can be directional ( be359ba680
