Communication on multiple beams between stations
First Claim
1. A method in a communication system configured for communication on a wireless interface between a first station and a second station, the method comprising the steps of:
- including beam identity information into signals transmitted on multiple beams provided by the first station;
receiving at the second station signals transmitted from the first station;
identifying beams via which the second station received signals from the first station based on said identity information; and
selecting at least one beam for transmission on the wireless interface between the first and second stations.

Abstract
The present invention relates to a method and a communication system wherein stations communicate on a wireless interface. The method includes the steps of including beam identity information into signals transmitted on multiple beams provided by a first station, receiving at a second station signals transmitted from the first station, and identifying beams via which the second station received signals from the first station based on said identity information. At least one beam for transmission on the wireless interface between the stations is then selected. A station configured for the communication comprises antenna means for receiving signals transmitted from the other station on multiple beams and a controller for identifying beams based on beam identity information associated with signals received from the other station.

21. A communication system configured for communication on a wireless interface between a first station and a second station, the communication system comprising:
-
an antenna array at the first station configured to provide multiple beams, the beams being distinguishable based on beam identity information;
a controller for identifying beams via which the second station received signals from the first station based on the beam identity information; and
means for selecting at least one beam for transmission of signals between the first and second stations based on information of the identified beams. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26)
