Abstract

See full text

This application relates to a method of performing wireless communications between a hub station and a plurality of user terminals. The method comprises transmitting radio signals to subsets of user terminals among the plurality of user terminals with sets of active beams, wherein the active beams have beam centers that are determined based on locations of the user terminals. The method further comprises, for each of a plurality of radio resource blocks: selecting a subset of user terminals among the plurality of user terminals; for each user terminal among the subset of user terminals, determining a beam center based on a location of the respective user terminal; and transmitting, using the respective radio resource block, radio signals to the user terminals among the selected subset of user terminals, in beams corresponding to the determined beam centers. The method further relates to a corresponding hub station for performing wireless communications with a plurality of user terminals, and to a method of determining antenna parameters and a beam pattern for a hub station.
