1. A mobile broadband wireless network comprising:
at least two pairs of nodes arranged in a cluster, each pair coupled to form a link for wireless communication;
each node including:
an RF transceiver with associated modem;
an antenna array arrangement, each antenna having a beam pattern selected to improve quality of transmission, coupled to said modem and arranged for multiple concurrent transmissions;
a controller for controlling said transceiver, modem and antenna array arrangement for providing point to point communication;
said controller including means for allocating MIMO streams and modulation to different antennas in said antenna array arrangement; and
at least one interference mitigation mechanism implemented by said controller to minimize interference within said cluster during multiple concurrent transmissions.
