ABSTRACT:
A communication system and method for controlling an antenna pattern is disclosed. The communication system may be situated on a mobile station, a base station, or a combination thereof. The communication system comprises a smart antenna module, a speed sensor, and a beam steering module. The smart antenna module may be situated on the mobile station, the base station, or a combination thereof. The smart antenna module generates at least one initial antenna pattern. The speed sensor is configured to determine a speed of a mobile station. The beam steering module generates an operating antenna pattern that is different from the initial antenna pattern. The operating antenna pattern is affected by changes in the speed of the mobile station.
