METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CAPACITY CHANGES IN TRANSCEIVER APPARATUS AND BASE STATION WITH SUCH A TRANSCEIVER

摘要

The present invention relates to transceiver apparatus. The transceiver apparatus is adapted to transmit within the coverage area of one or more transmission beams. The beams are provided by means of at least one transmission branch. In the method the number of transmission branches of the transceiver is changed, whereafter the shape of at least one of the transmission beams is modified by means of digital beamforming.
