Apparatus and associated methods relate to transmitting an independent data stream from a beamforming base station to a User Equipment receiver in a beam directed based on the User Equipment transmitter signal Angle of Arrival estimated as a function of separately demodulated and jointly decoded User Equipment transmitter signals received by at least two spatially separated base station antennas, and scheduling transmission to and from the User Equipment as a function of the Angle of Arrival. In an illustrative example, the beamforming base station may be an LTE base station. The User Equipment may be, for example, a user’s smartphone accessing the Internet. The independent data stream may be transmitted to the smartphone in a beam directed to the location of the smartphone. Various examples may advantageously provide higher bandwidth, for example a concentrated beam directed to User Equipment may provide an independent data stream with the full radio bandwidth.
