Abstract

A method for performing communications in a wireless communication network includes receiving mobility information about at least one moving mobile station in a mobility server of the wireless communications network, using the mobility information from the mobility server for calculating antenna weights to be applied to antenna elements of an antenna array for steering a beam generated by the antenna array to the moving mobile station preferably using space-division multiple access, SDMA. Embodiments also relate to a base station, to a mobile station, and to a wireless communication network.
