Abstract:
1. A wireless communication system, comprising: at least one base station in a communication cell, the base station being equipped with at least one array antenna comprising at least four antenna ports, wherein the at least four ports are connected to respective at least four corresponding antenna elements arranged in at least two rows and at least two columns, wherein the array antenna is arranged for communication via at least two antenna radiation lobes, each antenna radiation lobe communicating an information stream to at least one user equipment (UE) in the cell, thus communicating by means of Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO), wherein each antenna radiation lobe is individually controllable both in azimuth and elevation whereby the communication of the information streams is optimized, and wherein a total information stream is fed into the communication system, and independent of how many antenna radiation lobes are used all information from said total information stream is always radiated by the at least four antenna elements.
