SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR OPTIMIZING WIRELESS COMMUNICATION
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- selecting, by a wireless apparatus comprising one or more processors, a first direction at which to direct a first directional antenna beam, the first direction selected from a first set of antenna beam directions comprising a first plurality of antenna beam directions;
selecting, by the wireless apparatus, a second direction at which to direct a second directional antenna beam, the second direction selected from a second set of antenna beam directions comprising a second plurality of antenna beam directions;
transmitting, by the wireless apparatus, a first signal in the first direction;
transmitting, by the wireless apparatus, a second signal in the second direction;
receiving, by the wireless apparatus, a first response to the first signal from a first user device;
receiving, by the wireless apparatus, a second response to the second signal from a second user device;
determining, by the wireless apparatus, a first beam setting for the first user device based at least in part on the first response; and
determining, by the wireless apparatus, a second beam setting for the second user device based at least in part on the second response.

Abstract
Systems and methods for optimizing wireless communication are provided. An example method may include selecting a first direction at which to direct a first directional antenna beam, and selecting a second direction at which to direct a second directional antenna beam. The method may also include transmitting a first signal in the first direction, and transmitting a second signal in the second direction. The method may include receiving a first response to the first signal from a first user device, and receiving a second response to the second signal from a second user device. The method may include determining a first beam setting for the first user device based at least in part on the first response, and determining a second beam setting for the second user device based at least in part on the second response.
