Abstract
An embodiment for a method for user equipment assisted three-dimensional beamforming is disclosed. The method may include the user equipment receiving a reference signal from an eNodeB comprising an antenna. The user equipment may then calculate an optimum antenna tilt for the antenna and transmit feedback to the base station. The feedback may include an indication of the optimum antenna tilt for the antenna. Additional signals may be received from the base station after a transmit angle of the antenna has been adjusted in response to the optimum antenna tilt.
