1. A method for adjusting a fixed wireless network, the method comprising:
detecting a change in operation of one node in a set of nodes, Γi, in a fixed wireless network;
determining optimal paths in the fixed wireless network between M pairs of nodes, Γmsource and Γmtarget, in the set of nodes, Γi, with minimum bandwidth values, B*m, using a path function, F, of a latency, λ, and a bandwidth, B, where the path function, F, increases as the latency, λ, increases, and the path function, F, increases as the bandwidth, B, decreases; and
adjusting a beam direction by generating a phase shift in a beam steering antenna at the node associated with the detected change in operation, the phase shift corresponding to a determined optimal path for the node associated with the detected change in operation.
