Claim 0:
1. A system for dynamically disabling beamforming for particular user devices, the system comprising:
a processor; and
one or more computer storage hardware devices storing computer-usable instructions that, when used by the processor, cause the processor to:
determining that loading on a sector of a node is above a predetermined threshold, the sector utilizing beamforming;
determining that one or more user devices are located at a cell edge of the sector;
determining that at least one of the one or more user devices is a high-powered user device or a relay device; and
disabling the beamforming for the one or more user devices that are located at the cell edge of the sector and are not high-powered user devices or relay devices while maintaining beamforming for the at least one or more user devices that are located at the cell edge and that are the high-powered user device or the relay device.
