Method and Apparatus for Beam-Group Steering
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240405854 titled 'Method and Apparatus for Beam-Group Steering
Original Abstract Submitted
a beamforming method () and apparatus () disclosed herein use an advantageous approach to beamforming involving the application of beamforming weights () that define respective beams () of a beam group () as spatially non-overlapping and having fixed spatial relationships within the beam group (), and the application of beam-group steering weights () that steer the respective beams () of the beam group () in a common direction. the arrangement allows, for example, limiting the beamforming structure of the beamformer () to that needed for defining the beam group (), with beam-group steering then used to point the beam group () in various directions to provide greater signal coverage over time.
