Abstract
In a method for forming beam patterns for a wireless device, the device determines angles of arrival for data signals corresponding to different wireless network protocols, such as Bluetooth signals and wireless local area network signals. The wireless device has multiple antenna array and a beamform controller to selectively transmit and receive data signals along a communication path corresponding to the angle of arrival of the particular protocol data. Data signal transmissions along angles of arrival corresponding to other protocol channels are suppressed to avoid interference between data signals and to allow the wireless device to receive data signals for different protocols simultaneously.
