PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide mixed point-to-point and point-to-multipoint communications networks.SOLUTION: A network, such as wired and/or wireless LAN, is configured to have both point-to-point and point-to-multipoint connections. The point-to-multipoint connection is used to communicate information between a plurality of stations (or modem, or transceivers) in the network, whereas the point-to-point connection is used to communicate information between only two stations in the network with the ability to, for example, maximize performance (rate/reach/BER/latency/etc) between those two stations. A master station allocates one or more frequency bands to the various point-to-multipoint and point-to-point connections. |
