19. A method for synchronizing communication among a plurality of inter-connected communication nodes constituting a wireless backhaul network, comprising:
transmitting, during a first period, and simultaneously using at least two transmitters: (i) a first downlink packet from a first node to a second node via a respective beam, and (ii) a first uplink packet from a third node to the second node via a respective beam;
receiving and decoding, during the first period, and simultaneously using at least two receivers: (i) the first downlink packet in the second node via a respective first beam, and (ii) the first uplink packet in the second node via a respective second beam;
transmitting, during a second period, and simultaneously using at least two additional transmitters: (i) the first downlink packet from the second node to the third node via the respective second beam, and (ii) the first uplink packet from the second node to the first node via the respective first beam;
receiving and decoding, during the second period, and simultaneously: (i) the first uplink packet in the first node via the respective beam, and (ii) the first downlink packet in the third node via the respective beam; and
repeating said transmissions and receptions in conjunction with next uplink and downlink packets and further in conjunction with a third period and a fourth period.
