According to an aspect of an embodiment, a base station configured for beamforming estimation in a massive multiple input multiple output (mMIMO) radio access network (RAN) (mMIMO-RAN) may comprise a processing device and a transceiver. The processing device may be configured to obtain a channel estimate for a user equipment (UE). The processing device may be configured to compute a first power level adjustment for a downlink (DL) signal and a second power level adjustment for the DL signal. The second power level adjustment may be based on a power constraint. The transceiver may be configured to transmit the DL signal to the UE.

Beamforming estimation

According to an aspect of an embodiment, a method may include obtaining a first signal at a first port of a communication system. The first signal may include a combination of an incident signal and a reflected signal. The method may include performing a first processing to the first signal. In response to the first processing, the method may include performing a second processing to the first signal. The method may include estimating a voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) associated with a transmission line from results of the second processing to the first signal.
