Abstract

Antenna weights of a plurality of beamformed directions are determined. Transmission on the first beamformed direction is prioritized over transmission on the second beamformed direction, e.g., during beam sweeping. Such techniques may find application in discovery of an access node by a device attached to a wireless network.
