FORMING SPATIAL BEAMS WITHIN A CELL SEGMENT

摘要

To perform wireless communications in a wireless network, at least two spatial beams are formed within a cell segment, where the at least two spatial beams are associated with different power levels. The at least two spatial beams are swept across the cell segment according to a sweep pattern. In some implementations, multiple antenna assemblies can be used, where each antenna assembly has plural antenna elements. A lower one of the antenna assemblies can be used to form high and lower power beams, and an upper one of the antenna assemblies can be used to communicate backhaul information, for example.
