Claim 10:
11. A method for optimizing radio frequency (RF) beamforming in a wireless communications apparatus deployed in an infrastructure comprising at least one floor, comprising:
determining a center beam weight set comprising one or more center beam weights;
generating a plurality of weighted RF communications signals based on the center beam weight set to cause a center RF beam in a wireless communications cell located on a floor of the infrastructure, the center RF beam comprises the plurality of weighted RF communications signals and is associated with a center beamwidth to be radiated;
determining a plurality of edge beam weight sets each comprising a plurality of edge beam weights; and
generating the plurality of weighted RF communications signals based on each of the plurality of edge beam weight sets to cause a plurality of edge RF beams in the wireless communications cell, the plurality of edge beam weight sets each comprising the plurality of weighted RF communications signals and associated with an edge beamwidth narrower than the center beamwidth to be radiated.
