Examples disclosed herein provide systems, methods, and software to transition signaling formats for a wireless communication device. In one example, a method of operating an eNodeB to transition signaling formats or modes for a wireless communication device includes exchanging first wireless communication signals with the wireless communication device using multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO) signaling. The method further includes identifying a signal transition event for the wireless communication device and, in response to identifying the signal transition event, determining whether the wireless communication device meets a transition criteria. The method also provides, if the wireless communication device meets the transition criteria, exchanging second wireless communication signals with the wireless communication device using beamforming signaling.
A method of operating a Long-Term Evolution (LTE) eNodeB to transition between Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) Transmission Mode Three (TM3) and beamformed Transmission Mode Eight (TM8), the method comprising:
