Abstract:

Apparatuses, methods, and systems for controlling a hybrid node are disclosed. A network includes a controller, a plurality of first nodes, wherein sectors of the plurality of first nodes are configured to simultaneously transmit wireless signals or receive wireless signals, a plurality of second nodes, wherein sectors of the plurality of second nodes are configured to simultaneously transmit wireless signals when all of the one or more sectors of the plurality of first nodes are receiving wireless signals, or receive wireless signals when all of the one or more sectors of the plurality of first nodes are transmitting wireless signals, and a plurality of hybrid nodes, wherein the controller is operative to select at least a subset of sectors of the plurality of hybrid nodes to operate as one of the plurality of first nodes or to operate as one of the plurality of second nodes.
