Patent ID: 8543063

Claim:
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; identifying in the terminal that the first beam interferes with reception of the second beam based on the first and second signal qualities; and sending from the terminal to one or more of the base stations feedback indicating that the first beam interferes with the second beam, wherein identifying that the first transmission beam interferes with the reception comprises predicting interference for a future occurrence of the first and second transmission beams, and wherein sending the feedback comprises providing the feedback to the base stations for use in attenuating the first transmission beam during the future occurrence.
