Abstract
The present disclosure is related to a large-scale broadband wireless network capable of providing a very high wireless data capacity, wherein one aspect of the system utilizes a periodic beam forming system. When a wireless base station cell operates a periodic beam forming system, it is necessary to locate each user served by the cell within a sub-area covered by one of the m times N RF beams generated by the system. Methods for locating users within RF beam sub-areas are disclosed herein, where a user may be scheduled for transmission or reception only when an RF beam is focused on the sub-area that covers the user location. The present disclosure pertains to the systems and methods that may be used to process transmissions of and receptions by the baseband system of an LTE wireless base station that employs a periodic beam forming RF and antenna system.
