COORDINATION OF BACKHAUL BEAM FORMING IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS

摘要

A method and system for coordinating the use of beam forming (94, 96) betwee n two communicating entities (90, 92) in a wireless communication system is disclosed. The two entities may communicate control information regarding their respective use of beam forming. A correction factor for at least one entity is provided wherein said entity may reduce or withhold its beam adjustment in order to correct any error measured in the alignment of its be am with respect to the beam of the other entity with which it is communicating. Adjustment parameters for adjusting the beams are selected based on conditio ns surrounding the communication.
