A distributed unit (DU) has a scheduler configured to schedule resource blocks to control a multiple beam network using a lens beamformer. The DU can be independently configured to: schedule resource blocks to dynamically conform to time-of-day demands; grant resource blocks in a multiple UE environment to maximize the use of MIMO layers; associate each use equipment (UE) with a best gNB beam based on the measured power; and to sharing the remaining resource blocks amongst the other UEs whose best beam is active. The multi-beam antenna can use a cat-A RU non-beamforming radio unit (RU). The network can be utilize time division duplexing (TDD) or frequency division duplexing (FDD).
A fixed multiple beam network comprising a non-beamforming radio unit (RU) and a distributed unit (DU).
The apparatus of 1, wherein the distributed unit (DU) is cat-A split compliant as described in the O-RAN standard.
The apparatus of 1 further comprising a lens beamformer configured to receive multiple beams from the non-beamforming radio unit (RU).
A method of providing an RF signal to a sector, comprising scanning the sector using a first non-beamforming radio unit (RU) and a distributed unit (DU).
A distributed unit (DU) having a scheduler configured to schedule resource blocks to control a multiple beam network using a lens beamformer.
