Abstract: A wireless communication system, method and apparatus are disclosed. This system includes one or more apparatus for communicating with one or more base stations and one or more mobile. The apparatus has both a base station portion and a mobile station portion. The base station portion is adapted to communicate with one or more mobile stations and/or with one or more other mobile station portions while the mobile station portion is adapted to communicate with one or more other base stations and or one or more other base station portions.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a network nodes that are interconnected by communication links. Each node is capable of determining communication paths or routes from itself to as many other nodes as possible, either directly or relaying through other nodes, in order to complete the network. These paths are evaluated as new information concerning a route is generated, according to selected criteria, so that the best paths are identified, remembered and used when communication is performed. This invention is concerned with the determination of best paths through a network and the maintenance of these paths as communication conditions and node population changes.

Abstract: A nanoCell base station is disclosed for providing radio connectivity among one or more mobile stations, one or more base transceiver stations or one or more other nanoCell base stations. The nanoCell base station of the present invention has one or more transceivers. One of the transceivers provides a base station function, and one of the transceivers provides a mobile station function. A controller is present for managing the transceivers, and determining the communications connectivity paths between base station and mobile station functions.
