Abstract (en)
Apparatus for selecting the beamforming direction of a node in a wireless network, said apparatus comprising: a control module for controlling the beamforming direction of an antenna connected to said apparatus, said control module changing the beam angle in individual steps; a receiving module for overhearing the ongoing transmissions and for extracting one or more neighborhood parameters being indicative of the overheard transmission at the different angle steps; said control module calculating a decision parameter for each angle step and comparing said decision parameters of said different angle steps to select based thereupon the angle corresponding to the optimum decision parameter as the beamforming direction for said antenna.
