Abstract
Systems and methods are described for performing beam forming at multiple access nodes. A first access node may receive a signal level from a wireless device that fails to meet a signal level criteria. It may be determined that beam forming is enabled at the first access node. Beam forming data may then be communicated between the first access node and a second access node. It may also be determined whether coordinated multipoint transmissions are enabled at the first access node. Beams transmitted from the first access node and the second access node may be adjusted based on whether coordinated multipoint transmissions are enabled from the first access node.
