Abstract
A method for communicating using a large scale multiple input multiple output (MIMO) antenna array, the method includes determining angular domain channel estimates of the large scale MIMO antenna array in accordance with antenna domain channel estimates of the large scale MIMO antenna array, identifying significant beams of the large scale MIMO antenna array by maximizing the angular domain channel estimates, and communicating with at least one receiving device utilizing the significant beams as identified.
