Abstract
Beamforming methods and systems include determining a tradeoff curve between scanning beamwidth and transmission beamwidth based on a channel distribution for a base station. A set of scanning beams is selected based on the tradeoff curve. Devices around the base station are scanned for using the set of scanning beams. A set of transmission beams is selected for communications with the devices based on information received during the scanning. The set of transmission beams are used for transmission with a beamforming transmitter.
