Controller controlling a hybrid node to operate as one of a first group of nodes or as one of a second group of nodes of a wireless network

A method, comprising:

• operating a plurality of first nodes of a wireless network, wherein each of the plurality of first nodes includes one or more sectors, and wherein all of the one or more sectors of the plurality of first nodes are configured to one of only simultaneously transmit wireless signals or only simultaneously receive wireless signals;
• operating a plurality of second nodes, wherein each of the plurality of second nodes includes one or more sectors, and wherein all of the one or more sectors of the plurality of second nodes are configured to an other of only simultaneously transmit wireless signals when all of the one or more sectors of the plurality of first nodes are receiving wireless signals, or only simultaneously receive wireless signals when all of the one or more sectors of the plurality of first nodes are transmitting wireless signals;
• and
• controlling, by a central controller, operation of a plurality of hybrid nodes, wherein each of the plurality of hybrid nodes includes one or more sectors, wherein at least a subset of sectors of the plurality of hybrid nodes are controllably selected to operate as one of all of the one or more sectors of the plurality of first nodes or to operate as one of all of the one or more sectors of the plurality of second nodes.
