Abstract
A method for adaptive user equipment (UE) grouping and beamforming includes the assignment each of a plurality of user equipment (UE) devices into a respective UE group of a plurality of UE groups. Each UE group has at least one UE device. A UE device is reassigned from the respective UE group to which it was previously assigned to an updated UE group. An updated respective beamforming vector is generated for the updated UE group until the updated respective beamforming vector for each UE group produces a largest average UE rate for the updated UE group.
