==Original Abstract Submitted==

Mechanisms for operating an antenna array. The antenna array includes antenna elements and having a reconfigurable antenna array geometry. A method includes applying, as part of operating the antenna array for performing wireless communication, at least two antenna array geometries at the antenna array. The at least two antenna array geometries are alternatingly applied when the antenna array is operated. Each of the at least two antenna array geometries has a respective radiation pattern having a main lobe and a set of side lobes. The main lobes of all the radiation patterns have same pointing direction. Pointing directions of the side lobes differ between the radiation patterns of the at least two antenna array geometries.
