Abstract

See full text

The invention relates to a method for controlling the weighting of a data signal in the at least two antenna elements of a first radio connection unit of a radio communications system, which data signal is to be distributed for parallel transmission to a second radio connection unit to at least two beams. In order to improved such a method, it comprises: determining in the second radio connection unit a weight information enabling the first radio connection unit to determine the sets of weights for suitable beams for transmission and transmitting it to the first radio connection unit; and distributing the data signal in the first radio connection unit to those sets of weights and transmitting the data signals simultaneously via the formed beams. Alternatively or additionally, the second unit determines the number of beams to be used and informs the first unit about it. The invention equally relates to corresponding radio connection units, radio connection unit modules and radio communications systems.
