1. A communication device, comprising:
a donor receiver (Rx) configured to receive a first beam of input radio frequency (RF) signals from a base station or a network node;
a service transmitter (Tx) configured to transmit a second beam of RF signals in a first radiation pattern to a user equipment (UE); and
control circuitry configured to:
detect an amount of power radiated for echo signals at the donor Rx and a direction of the power radiated for the echo signals at the donor Rx, wherein the echo signals correspond to reflected RF signals in an environment surrounding the donor RX of the communication device;
apply polarization to the second beam of RF signals transmitted to the UE;
calibrate the polarization of the second beam of RF signals to minimize the echo signals at the donor Rx;
generate a second radiation pattern for at least the second beam of RF signals according to the amount of the power radiated for the echo signals and the direction of the power radiated for the echo signals in the environment detected at the donor Rx; and
control communication of the at least the second beam of RF signals in the generated second radiation pattern via the service Tx to the UE based on the calibrated polarization, wherein the communication of the at least the second beam of RF signals in the generated second radiation pattern further reduces the echo signals at the donor Rx.
