1. A method for communicating in an orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) network including a base station (BS) associated with a set of mobile stations (MS) in a cell, comprising:
- grouping the set of MS into sets of active MS, wherein each set of active MS corresponds to a beam formed at the BS; and
transmitting, by the BS, a down link (DL) subframe using analog beam forming (ABF), wherein the DL subframe has one ABF zone for each set of active MS and each corresponding beam.

Abstract
An orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) network including a base station (BS) associated with a set of mobile stations (MS) in a cell. The set of MS are grouped into sets of active MS, wherein each set of active MS corresponds to a beam formed at the BS. The BS transmits a down link (DL) subframe using analog beam forming (ABF), wherein the DL subframe has one ABF zone for each set of active MS and each corresponding beam.
