Abstract
A method and implementation of wireless communication are disclosed in which wireless signals are exchanged between at least one remote client and a directional antenna array associated with a wireless network, wherein the directional antenna array includes a plurality of antenna elements. A statistical matrix analysis is performed for each of the at least one client and the antenna array, in order to locate angles associated with directions of each client with respect to the antenna array. Values are determined for weighting factors for RF signals of each of the respective plurality of antenna elements, so as to create predetermined phase differences between the signals of the plurality of antenna elements. The predetermined phase differences are used to direct at least one null toward at least one source of interference, so as to avoid signal interference.
