For an embodiment, the node is operative to select a transmit beam forming setting and a receive beam forming setting between the node and the second node, wherein the selection is based on the measure received signal quality measurements that correspond with each of the transmit beam forming settings and the receive beam forming setting between the node and the second node. That is, for example, the node 110 selects the beam forming settings of the antennas 112 of the first sector and the beam forming settings of the antennas 114 of the second sector based at least in part on the measure received signal quality measurements that correspond with each of the transmit beam forming settings and the receive beam forming setting between the node and the second node. For example, the beam forming settings may be selected only if the measure received signal quality measurements corresponding with the transmit beam forming settings and the receive beam forming setting are greater than a signal quality threshold.

Interference Cancellation Signals Controlled by Node Characterization

As previously stated, for at least some embodiments, cross interference between the communication of the first sector of the first node 110 and the second sector of the first node 110 is mitigated by generating interference cancellation signals. That is, as previously stated, for at least some embodiments, the one or more interference cancellation signals are controlled based on received signal power measurements of a self-calibration by the node (first node 110) of cross coupling (interference) between, for example, the first sector and the second sector.
