Claim 29:
30. A method for wireless communication for use by a network node, the method comprising:
transmitting first beamformed downlink wireless communication signals to an access terminal using a plurality of wireless communication beams while applying beam-specific gain adjustments to the plurality of wireless communication beams, wherein the wireless communication beams have one or more different beamformed spatial orientation parameters and wherein the beam-specific gain adjustments are applied to at least one of the spatial orientation parameters;
receiving a report from the access terminal providing received power information for the plurality of wireless communication beams;
transmitting a second portion of first and second portions of the beam-specific gain adjustments to the access terminal for storage within a memory of the access terminal; and
transmitting a second beamformed downlink wireless communication signal to the access terminal using a selected one of the plurality of wireless communication beams, the beam selected based on information in the report, and with the second beamformed downlink wireless communication signal transmitted while applying the first portion of the beam-specific gain adjustments to enable the access terminal to apply the second portion of the beam-specific gain adjustments during reception of the second beamformed downlink wireless communication signal from the network node.
