Abstract
Dedicating antenna elements to specific wireless devices by identifying specific wireless devices that meet a set of criteria, such as relay nodes, stationary wireless devices, data-only wireless devices, and respectively dedicating a separate portion of antenna elements for communicating with each specific wireless device. The separate portion of antenna elements is selected based on being configured to utilize a bandwidth that meets a threshold bandwidth, such as a 40 MHz bandwidth offered in 5G communications.
