Wireless communication system to communicate using different beamwidths

A communication system to communicate in a wireless network via a wireless frequency band, the system comprising:

• an input to receive intermediate frequency signals;
• radio frequency (RF) filter circuitry coupled to the input to receive the intermediate frequency signals therefrom, the RF filter circuitry including a mixer and a filter;
• a frequency synthesizer coupled to the mixer;
• and
• an amplifier coupled to the filter;
• wherein:
• the frequency synthesizer is to provide a carrier frequency to the mixer;
• the mixer is to combine the intermediate frequency signals with the carrier frequency from the frequency synthesizer to generate combined carrier signals;
• the filter is to filter the combined carrier signals to generate filtered carrier signals;
• the amplifier is to amplify the filtered carrier signals to generate signals to be wirelessly transmitted by one or more antennas;
• and
• the signals to be wirelessly transmitted include:
• first signals corresponding to a first beamwidth when transmitted by the one or more antennas, the first signals to include first control signals comprising first beamforming control information to facilitate an initial beamforming for wireless communication via the wireless frequency band, the first control signals to include control signals to facilitate one or more of carrier frequency offset estimation, timing synchronization, or signal detection;
• and
• second signals corresponding to a second beamwidth when transmitted by the one or more antennas, the second signals to include second control signals comprising second beamforming control information to facilitate a fine beamforming to supplement the initial beamforming, the first beamwidth to comprise a wider beamwidth than the second beamwidth.

A method to be performed at a communication system to communicate in a wireless network via a wireless frequency band, the method including:

• combining intermediate frequency signals with a carrier frequency from a frequency synthesizer to generate combined carrier signals;
• filtering the combined carrier signals to generate filtered carrier signals;
• and
• amplifying the filtered carrier signals to generate signals to be wirelessly transmitted by one or more antennas;
• wherein the signals to be wirelessly transmitted include:
• first signals corresponding to a first beamwidth when transmitted by the one or more antennas, the first signals to include first control signals comprising first beamforming control information to facilitate an initial beamforming for wireless communication via the wireless frequency band, the first control signals to include control signals to facilitate one or more of carrier frequency offset estimation, timing synchronization, or signal detection;
• and
• second signals corresponding to a second beamwidth when transmitted by the one or more antennas, the second signals to include second control signals comprising second beamforming control information to facilitate a fine beamforming to supplement the initial beamforming, the first beamwidth to comprise a wider beamwidth than the second beamwidth.
