Abstract: A consumer premise equipment (CPE) which may comprise a processor, a storage medium, and an antenna, wherein the processor may be operatively coupled to the storage medium and the antenna to receive, from multiple antennas of a hub station, a first beam training announcement signal that may inform the CPE to be ready to receive a beam training packet using one or more beams, wherein the beam training packet may include a plurality of symbols that are each beamformed using a different beamformer or precoder; and send, to the hub station, a beamforming feedback report based on measurements taken by the CPE, possibly as a result of the CPE receiving the first beam training announcement signal.

Abstract: A wireless apparatus comprising: i) an intermediate frequency (IF) unit configured to transmit and to receive IF signals; and ii) a radio frequency (RF) unit configured to transmit and to receive RF signals via an antenna and to receive IF signals from the IF unit and to transmit IF signals to the IF unit. The RF unit comprises: iii) a first sensor coupled to a first port of the RF unit, wherein the first sensor is configured to determine whether an incoming IF signal transmitted by the IF unit is present on the first port; and iv) a first transceiver configured to be controlled by the first sensor. The first transceiver is switched to transmit mode in response to the first sensor determining that an incoming IF signal is present on the first port.
