Abstract:
1. A method for communication, comprising: at a mobile communication terminal, receiving from a group of two or more base stations multiple Radio Frequency (RF) transmission beams that alternate in time and space and comprise at least a first beam and a second beam; estimating in the terminal first and second signal qualities for the second beam, under respective first and second constraints, wherein the first constraint specifies that the first beam is active and the second constraint specifies that the first beam is inactive; predicting in the terminal, based on the first and second signal qualities, that the first beam will interfere with reception of the second beam in a future occurrence of the first and second transmission beams; and sending from the terminal to one or more of the base stations feedback indicating that the first beam is predicted to interfere with the second beam, for use in configuring transmission to the terminal during the future occurrence.
