Abstract
An apparatus includes a beam selection hardware accelerator for determining a set of beams to be used for data scheduling by a wireless node for a transmission time interval, the beam selection hardware accelerator being configured to: receive a beam information and information indicating an angular separation of beams for a set of selected beams; create a graph based on the beam information and the minimum angular separation; select a set of beams, out of a plurality of beams, as a maximum weight independent set of beams based on the created graph; and provide a notification of the selected set of beams.
