Bootstrap recursive directional determination for dynamic high-rate directional networking links

摘要

The present invention is a wireless communication system and method. In an exemplary embodiment, the system includes a plurality of transceiver nodes arranged in a network and configured to communicate between transceiver nodes using an Orthogonal Domain Multiple Access (ODMA) frame structure, each of the plurality of transceiver nodes having neighboring nodes. Each ODMA structure may include a plurality of bootstrap slots for each of the plurality of transceiver nodes. Further, a plurality of correlation sequences may be defined within each of the plurality of bootstrap slots in which each correlation sequence included within the plurality of correlation sequences is located in a separate antenna sector and sub-sector. Addition of the plurality of correlation sequences to each of the plurality of bootstrap slots allows for recursive directional determination of which antenna sector and sub-sector is to be used to communicate with one of the plurality of transceiver nodes.
