Abstract
Method and apparatus are provided for hybrid beamforming with autonomous beamformers in mobile communications. An apparatus can receive a plurality of input signals from a network node by a plurality of antennas. The apparatus can perform autonomous beamforming by adjusting phases of the plurality of input signals to generate autonomous beamformed signals. The apparatus can perform at least one of digital beamforming and analog beamforming on the autonomous beamformed signals based on a reference signal from the network node to generate a beamformed signal.
