Embodiments for providing for dissemination of packets in a network performing distributed beamforming are generally described herein. In some embodiments, distributing packets from nodes in a squad local area network using a first waveform to beamforming nodes, providing scheduling to a long link interface for delivering a stream of packets free of scheduling conflict and distributing a copy of the packets from a long link interface based on the provided scheduling and using a second waveform, the first waveform being different from the second waveform.
