  • METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR SELF-ALIGNING HIGH DATA RATE COMMUNICATION NETWORKS
    Publication number: 20150116155
    Abstract: A communication system is provided. The communication system includes a directional antenna, an antenna steering system to steer the directional antenna, a memory, and one or more processors coupled to the memory, the directional antenna, and the antenna steering system. The one or more processors are configured to identify a communication target and state information associated with the communication target, instruct the antenna steering system to steer the at least one directional antenna towards the communication target based on the state information, instruct the antenna steering system to perform a received power scan within a scan area to determine a maximum received power direction associated with a signal transmitted from the communication target, and track the maximum received power direction.
