Abstract
Systems and methods of a node in a wireless communication system with switchable antenna functions are provided. In one exemplary embodiment, a method by a controller for configuring a switching network may include configuring the switching network for a first mode of operation associated with multiple-input, multiple-output (MIMO) communications. Further, the method may include configuring the switching network for a second mode of operation associated with beamforming communications.
