Channel frequency reuse for narrow beam video streaming based upon mobile terminal location information

A transceiving device of a wireless network for transmitting streamed video to at least one wireless terminal, the wireless network having a channel frequency reuse pattern, the transceiving device comprising:

• a communication interface including at least one wireless interface, the communication interface servicing communication with the at least one wireless terminal and with other wireless network devices;
• and
• processing circuitry coupled to the wireless interface and operable to:
• in a first set of operations, communicate with the at least one wireless terminal via the communication interface using, according to the channel frequency reuse pattern, a first channel frequency set;
• and
• in a second set of operations:
• receive a request via the communication interface to transmit the streamed video to the at least one wireless terminal;
• receive position information via the communication interface from the at least one wireless terminal requesting the streamed video;
• select a channel from a second channel frequency set that is different from the first channel frequency set and that violates the channel frequency reuse pattern to service transmission of the streamed video to the at least one wireless terminal;
• and
• directionally transmitting via the communication interface the streamed video to the at least one wireless terminal in a direction based upon the position information using the selected channel.

A portable electronic device for receiving streamed video from a transceiving device of a wireless network, the wireless network having a channel frequency reuse pattern, the portable electronic device comprising:

• a communication interface;
• and
• processing circuitry coupled to the communication interface, the processing circuitry operable to:
• in a first set of operations, communicate with a transceiving device of the wireless network via the communication interface using, according to the channel frequency reuse pattern, a first channel frequency set;
• and
• in a second set of operations:
• transmit a request via the communication interface to the transceiving device of the wireless network to receive the streamed video;
• transmit position information via the communication interface to the transceiving device of the wireless network;
• receive a channel assignment from a second channel frequency set that is different from the first channel frequency set and that violates the channel frequency reuse pattern to receive transmission of the streamed video;
• and
• receive via the communication interface the streamed video using the selected channel.
