1. A method for communicating wireless signals with a plurality of user equipment devices (UEs), comprising:
monitoring wireless signals communicated by a base station;
decoding a protocol for wireless control signals included in the monitored wireless signals, wherein the decoded protocol for the wireless control signals is used to separately identify each UE and determine an allocation schedule that includes allocated transmit/receive time periods in the allocation schedule for each identified UE to communicate wireless signals between the base station and each identified UE;
detecting a direction for uplink wireless signals that are communicated by each identified UE to the base station during each identified UEs allocated transmit/receive time period; and
arranging a beam antenna for multiplex generation of a beam in the detected direction of each identified UE based on downlink wireless signals communicated by the base station to each identified UE.
