Abstract

A wireless communication method is provided in which beam training phases alternate with data transmission phases. The method includes estimating a first channel based on a signal received using one or more first training beams in a first beam training phase, and calculating, based on the estimated first channel and a first objective function corresponding to the estimated first channel, a first data beam for a first data transmission phase from the one or more first training beams in the first beam training phase, the first data transmission phase following the first beam training phase.
