Abstract

A method and apparatus for predicting uplink and/or downlink beamforming in a wireless communication system employing an antenna array. The method and apparatus may predict uplink and/or downlink weights as a function of previous uplink and/or downlink weights. An interpolation of a sample of uplink weights and/or downlink weights is used to predict a future uplink or downlink weight.
