The present invention provides a solution to the problem concerning how to associate uplink packet data to the originating mobile station in order to be able to direct downlink packet data transmissions to the correct mobile station when using adaptive antennas. A packet scheduler signals the uplink and downlink scheduling information to a direction of arrival (DOA) estimating- or beam selection algorithm, and specifies a DOA- or beam selection algorithm for every mobile station instead of for every timeslot. The received information, i.e. the angular and/or spatial samples of signal strength and signal quality etc. is stored in a physical context memory. It is possible to use adaptive antennas in a system carrying e.g. GPRS/EGPRS traffic.
A method for enabling the use of adaptive antennas in a packet data system comprising at least one base station transmitting packet data to a plurality of mobile stations within its respective area of coverage
