    摘要: Beamforming is a critical element of 5G and especially 6G, but currently requires a series of time-consuming and resource-consuming messages. Disclosed are procedures by which base stations can transmit a phased beam pulse, having a phase that varies with angle, so that each user device can measure the received phase of the pulse and thereby determine its angle relative to the base station. Each user can then sequentially inform the base station of its orientation relative to the base station, or can append that information to another message such as an initial access message or an acknowledgement, for example. The user device and the base station can then exchange messages in narrow beams aimed at each other according to the alignment angle. Also disclosed are procedures to economically generate the wide-angle phased beam by combining overlapping beams of various phases.

    摘要: In a wireless local area network (wireless LAN) system, an initiator station (STA) can transmit a sensing initiation frame. The sensing initiation frame can include information related to a first responder STA operating as a sensing responder. The initiator STA can receive a first transmission initiation frame from the first responder STA. The first transmission initiation frame can include strength information about a first sensing signal. The initiator STA can receive the first sensing signal from the first responder STA. The sensing initiation frame can further include information related to a second responder STA operating as a sensing responder. The initiator STA can receive a second transmission initiation frame from the second responder STA. The second transmission initiation frame can include strength information about a second sensing signal. The second sensing signal can be received from the second responder STA.
