Claim:
1. A method of operating a wireless communications system comprising: transmitting first data in a first beam of electromagnetic signals focused on a first user equipment and generated by a first antenna array, the first data being associated with the first user equipment and the first data being transmitted using a first orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) resource block of a radio frame; transmitting second data in a second beam of electromagnetic signals focused on a second user equipment and generated by the first antenna array, the second data being associated with the second user equipment and the second data being transmitted using a second OFDMA resource block of the radio frame; and generating first beamforming weights for the first beam and second beamforming weights for the second beam based on a first Signal-to-Interference-plus-Noise-Ratio (SINR) indicator received from the first user equipment and a second SINR indicator received from the second user equipment.
