Patent ID: 8036669

Claim:
A method of resource reuse in a wireless communication system, the method comprising: determining terminal information; determining a first beam in a first beam set from a plurality of beam sets based upon the terminal information, each beam in the first beam set associated with a subset of resources of a plurality of resources; transmitting signals utilizing the first beam in the first beam set on at least some of the subset of resources; and transitioning transmission of signals from the first beam to a second beam of a second beam set different than the first beam set, and on another subset of the resources orthogonal with respect to the subset of resources associated with the first beam set, the another subset being associated with the second beam set, wherein positions of the beams in the first beam set are complementary to positions of the beams in the second beam set such that a beam from the first beam set provides strong coverage to a weak coverage area of the second beam set.
