Abstract
Systems and methods of coordinating transit links between network nodes in a wireless communication network are disclosed. Transit links between a network node and respective neighbouring network nodes are monitored for communications control signals from any of the neighbouring network nodes, and a particular transit link is selected for data exchange upon receipt of a communications control signal. Each transit radio link antenna beam at a network node is thereby aligned with a respective neighbouring network node when the neighbouring node sends a communications control signal.
