Abstract
Methods and systems for wireless packet switching include determining a schedule for a plurality of transceivers in an enclosure. The schedule specifies which of the plurality of transceivers will act as a transmitter and which will act as a receiver. Data is transmitted from each transmitter to a corresponding receiver with a configured beamforming direction. Data is transmitted from a transmitter to a corresponding receiver by a wired connection if an angle of the beamforming direction is lower than a minimum angle.
