1. A method of beam forming in a repeater in a wireless communication network, the method comprising:
selecting a first beam forming configuration, corresponding to a first direction, to serve a fronthaul link between the repeater and a base station;
receiving one or more signals from at least one user equipment (UE);
measuring received power of the one or more signals in a plurality of directions except the first direction selected to serve the fronthaul link between the repeater and the base station; and
selecting a second beam forming configuration corresponding to a second direction, different from the first direction, to serve an access link between the repeater and the at least one UE based on the measured received power of the one or more signals in the plurality of directions.
