Reducing inter-sector interference in beamforming

A method includes communicating to a plurality of user equipment (UE) in a cell using beamforming. The plurality of UE includes a first group of UE in a first sector of the cell and a second group of UE in a second sector of the cell. The method further includes monitoring positions of the plurality...

Zusammenfassung:A method includes communicating to a plurality of user equipment (UE) in a cell using beamforming. The plurality of UE includes a first group of UE in a first sector of the cell and a second group of UE in a second sector of the cell. The method further includes monitoring positions of the plurality of UE in the cell. In addition, the method includes determining that at least one UE of the first group of UE is in a first region of the first sector, which indicates that a beamform corresponding to the at least one UE has a potential of interfering with one or more other beamforms corresponding to the second group of UE. Based on the at least one UE being in the first region of the first sector, beamforming is disabled to the at least one UE.
