A network node is connected to a plurality of antenna nodes that are located along a path where a plurality of wireless communication devices are located. The antenna nodes are controlled (302) to maintain reception radio lobes substantially along the path such that the wireless communication devices can communicate with the network node via the reception radio lobes. From a detected (304) radio frequency signal, a determination (306) is made that a UE belongs to a group of UEs having common Doppler radio frequency characteristics. This determination then enables processing (308) of the received signal involving the common Doppler characteristics.

An apparatus for estimating a DOA in a MIMO system includes a receiver and a signal processor. The receiver receives Rx signals from a target through Rx antennas after Tx signals having different phases are transmitted through Tx antennas, and transforms the Rx signals into time domain Rx signals. The processor transforms the time domain Rx signals into Rx signals in a frequency domain including a range-related domain and a velocity-related doppler domain; divides the doppler domain into regions according to a phase difference between the Tx signals; extracts signals from the regions; combines the signals to form first and second arrays; determines a minimum value for each of the first and second arrays using a DML algorithm; selects one of the first and second arrays having the minimum value as a true array; and estimates a DOA corresponding to the true array as an actual DOA of the target.
