Method for Selecting Antennas in a Wireless Networks
First Claim
1. A method for selecting antennas in a wireless network including a base station and a plurality of user equipment (UE) transceivers, comprising:
- specifying, in a base station of a wireless network, times and frequencies to transmit sounding reference signals (SRSs) by a transceiver of the network, in which the transceiver includes a set of available antennas;
specifying which antennas to use to transmit the SRSs for the specified times and frequencies;
transmitting the SRS by the transceiver according to the specified times, frequencies, and antennas;
selecting a subset of antennas of the set of available antennas in the base station based on the received SRSs; and
indicating the selected subset of antennas to the transceiver.

Abstract
A method and system selects antennas in a wireless network including a base station and user equipment (UE) transceivers. The base station specifies times and frequencies to transmit sounding reference signals (SRSs), and antennas to use to transmit the SRSs for the specified times and frequencies. The transceivers transmit the SRS according to the specified times, frequencies, and antennas. The base station selects subsets of the set of available sets of antennas, and indicates the selected subset of antennas to the transceiver.
