Abstract: A wireless relay uses multiple wireless backhaul options. In the relay, a wireless access point exchanges user data with wireless user devices including a visitor device. The wireless access point exchanges the user data with Relay Equipment (RE) in the wireless relay. The RE exchanges the user data with a home wireless communication network. The RE detects a loss of performance for the home wireless communication network, and initiates a backhaul connection through the visitor wireless user device and a visitor wireless communication network. The wireless access point exchanges additional user data with the wireless user devices. The wireless access point exchanges the additional user data with the RE. The RE exchanges the additional user data with the home wireless communication network over the backhaul connection through the visitor wireless user device and the visitor wireless communication network.

Abstract: A wireless relay performs Radio Frequency (RF) testing at geographic azimuths. In the wireless relay, a wireless access point wirelessly exchanges user data with wireless user devices and exchanges the user data with Relay Equipment (RE). In the wireless relay, the RE exchanges the user data with the wireless access point and wirelessly exchanges the user data with a wireless communication network. The RE wirelessly receives a directional RF test instruction indicating geographic azimuths. The RE performs a directional RF test at the geographic azimuths based on the directional RF test instruction. The RE transfers RF test results for the geographic azimuths to the wireless communication network.

Abstract: A wireless relay controls wireless scanning in a wireless data communication network. The wireless relay performs a 360-degree wireless signal scan, and attaches to a source wireless access point responsive to the wireless signal scan. The wireless relay reports results from the wireless signal scan to a relay information server responsive to the attachment. The wireless relay receives attachment data from the relay information server responsive to the reporting. If the wireless relay loses connectivity to the source wireless access point, then the wireless relay determines reattachment attributes based on the attachment data, and performs another wireless signal scan based on the reattachment attributes.
