Abstract
A receiving system () is configured to determine reception antenna weights for a plurality of antennas and/or antenna elements for each transmitting system of a plurality of transmitting systems (-) for receiving wireless signals using receive beamforming. The receiving system is further configured to determine a schedule for receiving the wireless signals. The schedule indicates a resource allocation for each of the transmitting systems. The resource allocation specifies an allocated time period. The receiving system is also configured to inform each transmitting system of the resource allocation and, for each resource allocation in the schedule, receive a plurality of instances of a wireless signal via the antennas and/or antenna elements and combine the instances by using an antenna configuration which is based on at least reception antenna weights determined in relation to a transmitting system associated with the resource allocation.
