Abstract

One aspect of the disclosure provides a method for estimating a radio channel between a base station and a wireless device. The base station includes an antenna system which is configurable to utilize beam space processing for receiving radio transmissions. The method includes: using the antenna system to detect wireless energy from the wireless device in a plurality of beam directions; obtaining historical data relating to a likelihood that wireless energy in the plurality of beam directions contains channel information; selecting a subset of the plurality of beam directions based on the detected wireless energy and the historical data; and processing wireless energy detected in the subset of beam directions to estimate a channel between the base station and the wireless device.
