Claim 14:
15. The method according to claim 14, characterized by the further steps of:
selecting a second set of beamforming vectors among at least two second sets of beamforming vectors, said second set of beamforming vectors corresponding to a highest estimated total throughput for said first signal and for a second signal to be scheduled for beamformed communication in said first direction and a second direction, respectively, under intended prevailing radio conditions;
said second direction being different from said first direction;
said second signal is scheduled for beamformed communication simultaneously as said first signal by a same antenna using a same physical resource;
said at least two second sets of beamforming vectors being designed to give a beam in said second direction for a given polarization;
said at least two second sets of beamforming vectors presenting different tapering and/or non-tapering; and
initiating a transmission of a second beam index assigned to said second signal;
wherein said second beam index defines said second selected set of beamforming vectors.
