Methods and apparatus for high throughput wireless cells, capable of
functioning as access points, are described. The wireless cells may be
equipped with multiple radios to increase the amount of throughput
available through a single wireless cell. Multiple antennas attached to
the radios through RF switches may enable the wireless cell to service
multiple clients simultaneously. The physical sectors of the antennas may
overlapped to form virtual sectors that provide greater flexibility in
client load management and in simultaneously servicing multiple clients.
Attenuators may reduce interference from foreign wireless cells or
clients. Systems and methods for assigning minimally interfering channels
to either physical sectors or to radios to reduce interference between
adjacent sectors and overlapping sectors are also disclosed. An antenna
horn may also allow any antenna to be used as a directional antenna and
may enable the antenna's angle of coverage to be adjusted. The use of
multiple antennas on a client to reduce interferences is also described.
