instructing the antenna to use single user digital beamforming for the connection between the first user equipment and the network in response to a determination that the load on the network fails to exceed the load threshold value.

12. The system of claim 10 , wherein the processor is further configured to execute the instructions for:

determining, in response to a determination that the load on the network exceeds the load threshold value, whether a correlation between the first user equipment and a second user equipment connected to the network exceeds a correlation threshold value.

13. The system of claim 12 , wherein the processor is further configured to execute the instructions for:

instructing the antenna to use multi-user digital beamforming for the connection between the first user equipment and the network in response to a determination that the correlation between the first user equipment and the second user equipment exceeds the correlation threshold value.

14. The system of claim 8 , wherein the processor is further configured to execute the instructions for:

determining whether a second user equipment is eligible for digital beamforming independently of the determining whether the first user equipment is eligible for digital beamforming, wherein the second user equipment is connected to the network.

15. A non-transitory computer readable medium configured to store instructions thereon for causing a processor to:

receive data related to a connection between a first user equipment and a network;

determine whether the first user equipment is eligible for digital beamforming;

determine, in response to a determination that the first user equipment is ineligible for digital beamforming, whether a moving speed of the first user equipment is above a first threshold value; and

instruct an antenna in the network to use broad beam beamforming for the connection between the first user equipment and the network in response to a determination that the first user equipment is moving faster than the first threshold value.
