Abstract

A device that implements proactive beamforming while in motion may include at least one processor configured to establish communication with a first base station via a first beam. The at least one processor may be configured to monitor motion of at least one of: the device, the first base station, or a second base station. The at least one processor may be configured to determine that the device is approaching a second base station based at least in part on the monitored motion. The at least one processor may be configured to form a second beam in a direction of the second base station. The at least one processor may be configured to establish communication with the second base station via the second beam and terminate the first beam with the first base station upon establishing communication with the second base station via the second beam.
