Abstract
A system and method for providing multi-beam Wi-Fi access points. The system includes one or more Wi-Fi transmit antennas beamformers; one or more Wi-Fi receive antennas or receive beamformers; and a number N of co-channel Wi-Fi access points (APs) and a number of M non co-channel APS, where all APs comply with IEEE802.11xx standard, connected to the Wi-Fi transmit antennas beamformers, wherein the Wi-Fi transmit antennas beamformers are configured to produce a plurality of non spatially adjacent beams of a common frequency, directed at a plurality of Wi-Fi user equipment (UE) such that the directional beams are sufficiently isolated from each other, and at least some of the Wi-Fi UEs communicate simultaneously with the plurality of Wi-Fi access points.
