METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR COORDINATED BEAMFORMING

摘要

Various methods and devices are provided to improve wireless communications. In one method, a need for additional wireless sendee in a target area is detected (401). As part of a first-layer beamfonning process, a signaling beam is directed (402) toward the target area. As part of a second-layer beamforming process, at least some inter-cell interference is canceled (403) in the target area. In another method, a wireless denial of service (WDoS) attack from a first wireless node is detected (501). A signaling beam is directed (502) toward the first wireless node to suppress signaling from the first wireless node. While suppressing this signaling, service is provided (503) to other wireless nodes.
