Systems and methods of coordinating transit links between network nodes in
a wireless communication network are disclosed. Transit links between a
network node and respective neighbouring network nodes are monitored for
communications control signals from any of the neighbouring network
nodes, and a particular transit link is selected for data exchange upon
receipt of a communications control signal. Each transit radio link
antenna beam at a network node is thereby aligned with a respective
neighbouring network node when the neighbouring node sends a
communications control signal.
