Methods and apparatus for orthogonal stream spatial multiplexing. In one embodiment, a method includes splitting and modulating a data stream into n MIMO RF spatial streams and coupling them to corresponding switchable polarization antenna elements controlled via orthogonal binary codes for transmission. Each transmitted stream manifests as time-varying-polarization-orthogonal to the other n-1 spatial streams. The method includes reception of the streams at their destination using corresponding antenna elements controlled by the same set of orthogonal codes. Thus, each of the n transmitted spatial streams is polarization-match-filtered, unambiguously separated and individually recovered from all the others upon reception for subsequent demodulation and MIMO spatial recombination into the original data stream. Thus, n MIMO spatial streams emanating from a common source and featuring equal amplitude and bandwidth but bearing distinct data and exhibiting mutually orthogonal time varying polarization will propagate mutually interference-free on the same frequency channel to a single destination.

Data is transmitted from a first wireless station comprising first and second transmitters to a second wireless station comprising first and second receivers. In the absence of radio link failure detection, first data is transmitted via a first radio link from the first transmitter to the first receiver using a first subset of first radio resource blocks and transmitting second data via a second radio link from the second transmitter to the second receiver using second subset of the first radio resource blocks. The first and second radio links are monitored for a failure. If first radio link failure is detected, the second radio link is operated using a combination of the first and second subsets of the first radio resource blocks. If second radio link failure is detected, the first radio link is operated using a combination of the first and second subsets of the first radio resource blocks.

Isolation for antennas in a wireless communication system is achieved between transmit and receive paths for a multiple input multiple output (MIMO) antenna array by separating a first transmit path from an associated receive path to be matched with a second transmit path and matching the first receive path with the second receive path. It is expected that the two transmit paths operate on sufficiently different frequencies that there is minimal interference there and the additional spacing from the transmit path to the receive path will reduce interference therebetween without increasing a footprint of the antenna array.
