Communication Network with Control Plane Network

A wireless communication method for a wireless network, the wireless network comprising a plurality of base station nodes and a plurality of repeater nodes, the method comprising:

• receiving data at a plurality of different ones of the base station nodes via a plurality of different wireless signals that are respectively received by the different ones of the base station nodes from a plurality of different antennas of a mobile handset that point in different directions, wherein the received data comprises a plurality of streams that are encoded by the different wireless signals;
• and
• communicating the received data through the wireless network as a plurality of millimeter wave wireless signals that propagate through the repeater nodes via multiple paths within the wireless network, and wherein the millimeter wave wireless signals include repeated versions of the data.
