Abstract
A wireless communication device can include an antenna array and processing circuitry coupled to the antenna array to segment antenna elements of an antenna array into a configurable plurality of groups of antenna elements. The processing circuitry can also activate analog beamforming for at least one group of the plurality of groups of antenna elements. Subsequent to enabling analog beamforming, the processing circuitry can configure digital beamforming for the at least one group based on a criterion.
