Use of directional antennas to mitigate the effects of interference in wireless networks

摘要

The method involves receiving a data notification signal from a wireless device (227). The signal indicating the device (227) is transmitted to an antenna device (203). A channel in a frequency spectrum is selected for receiving program data from the device (227). One of directional antennas is used to receive the data from the device (227) on the selected channel in response to the received signal. Independent claims are also included for the following: (a) a computer program product having computer readable media with computer executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, causes the antenna device to perform a method of wirelessly receiving program data from a wireless device and a method of wirelessly sending data to a wireless device (b) an antenna device for wirelessly communicating with wireless devices.
