						 This paper investigates location-based adaptive beamforming techniques, including Maximum Ratio Transmission (MRT)  and Zero Forcing  (ZF), in complex  wireless environments. The study uses a digital  twin simulation of the University of Glasgow campus  to evaluate the proposed schemes  under realistic conditions, such as user mobility and  multipath propagation. The results demonstrate significant performance  improvements with the location-based beam steering approaches. In the open space scenario,  the location-based schemes  achieved up to 40% higher Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio (SINR)  and 30% higher received power, along with reduced interference. The gains were even more pronounced in the  digital twin environment, with up to 50% improvement in SINR and 40% increase  in received power. Furthermore, the study evaluates  the energy efficiency of the location-based adap.. View more»
