ABSTRACT:
High capacity WLAN access point architecture is described layered above a MAC layer of a standard WLAN protocol stack. Methods for forming orthogonal beams to deliver downlink information to a plurality of mobile devices and for separating uplink packets from the mobile devices are disclosed. A near-optimal scheduling method for scheduling the transmission from each mobile device is also disclosed.
