Abstract

A device that implements hybrid beamforming may include at least one processor configured to determine a first beam setting based on a first set of criteria associated with a first user device. The at least one processor may be configured to form a first beam based on the first beam setting using at least one digital beamforming circuit and at least one radio frequency (RF) beamforming circuit. The at least one processor may be configured to transmit, via first antenna elements, the first beam to the first user device.
