Abstract
A method for coordinating beam forming between two communicating entities includes obtaining cell loading information and adjusting a number of used beam-sets at a specific scheduling time according to the cell loading information. The method further includes transmitting a common pilot that is not beam-formed together with feed-forward information according to the cell loading. A wireless communication system employing conventional CL-MIMO protocols can be adapted to employ the methodology.
