System and method for wireless mobility protocol for highly directional antennas with network topology awareness

1. A system for communicating wireless signals between one or more sector controllers (SC) and one or more subscriber stations (SS) using different channels and different beams, further wherein

each of said one or more SS and said one or more SC has a corresponding highly directional antenna;

said one or more SC comprises a first SC;

said one or more SS comprises a first SS;

said first SS obtains a plurality of network topology awareness (NTA) data sets from said first SC, said first SS selecting a first NTA data set from among said plurality of NTA data sets, said first NTA data set being different from the rest of said plurality of NTA data sets;

said first SS selects

a channel,

a beam, and

one of the one or more SC,

to establish an RF link based on said NTA data; and

said first SS communicates with said selected SC using said established RF link.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein said first NTA data set comprises at least one of the following corresponding to each of said one or more SC:

SC identification;

list of one or more frequency channels;

RF antenna characteristics; and

three-dimensional (3D) Global Positioning Satellite (GPS) data.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein said first SS initiates a handover from said selected SC to a different SC based on said obtained first NTA data set.

4. The system of claim 3 , wherein said first SS downloads a second NTA data set, and said initiation is based on said second NTA data set.

5. The system of claim 3 , wherein said handover is initiated after determining that said established RF link performance is less than a threshold level.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein said selection of said channel, beam and said one of the one or more SC is based on calculated performance.

7. The system of claim 3 , wherein said handover is initiated based on modulating coding scheme (MCS) data.

8. The system of claim 1 , wherein said SC performs automatic ranging for said first SS.

9. The system of claim 1 , wherein said transmission of one or more NTA data sets is based on a geo-fence.

10. A method for communicating wireless signals between one or more sector controllers (SC) and one or more subscriber stations (SS) using different channels and different beams, further wherein each of said one or more SS and said one or more SC has a corresponding highly directional antenna, and said one or more SC comprises a first SC; said method comprising

obtaining, by said first SS, a plurality of NTA data sets from said first SC, said first SS selecting a first NTA data set from among said plurality of NTA data sets, said first NTA data set being different from the rest of said plurality of NTA data sets; and

selecting, by said first SS,

a channel,

a beam, and

one of the one or more SC,

said selecting being based on said obtained NTA data sets; and

establishing, with said first SS using said selected channel and beam an RF link to communicate with said selected SC.

11. The method of claim 10 , wherein said first NTA data set comprises at least one of the following corresponding to each of said one or more SC

SC identification;

list of one or more frequency channels;

RF antenna characteristics; and

three-dimensional (3D) Global Positioning Satellite (GPS) data.

12. The method of claim 10 , further comprising initiating, by said first SS, a handover from said selected SC to a different SC based on said obtained first NTA data set.

13. The method of claim 12 , further comprising

downloading, by said first SS, a second NTA data set; and

wherein said initiating is based on said second NTA data set.

14. The method of claim 12 , further comprising

determining whether said established RF link performance is less than a threshold level; and

initiating said handover based on said determining.

15. The method of claim 12 , wherein said initiating of handover is based on modulating coding scheme (MCS) data.

16. The method of claim 10 , wherein said selecting of said channel, beam and said one of the one or more SC is based on calculated performance.

17. The method of claim 10 , further comprising performing, by said SC, automatic ranging for said first SS.

18. The method of claim 10 , wherein said transmitting of said one or more NTA data sets is based on a geo-fence.
