Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for beamforming in a wireless communication are provided. The apparatus determines a beamforming direction and a SNR of at least two user equipments (UEs) and determines whether to schedule communication with the at least two UEs during a same time interval via a single communication beam based on the beamforming directions and the SNRs of the at least two UEs. When the communication with the at least two UEs during the same time interval via the single communication beam is scheduled, the apparatus allocates bandwidth resources respectively among the at least two UEs, sizes a width of the single communication beam to encompass the beamforming directions of the at least two UEs, and communicates with one or more of the at least two UEs during the same time interval via a respectively allocated bandwidth resource using the sized single communication beam.
