Communication device and a method for determining an information from another apparatus
Abstract:
A communication device and a method for determining an information from a second device consisting of setting an initial beamforming pattern, wherein the initial beamforming pattern comprises a beamforming direction and a corresponding beamforming area for each of the plurality of antenna ports, comprising determining a concerned direction interval based on overlapping beamforming areas of adjacent pairs of the plurality of antenna ports; receiving a signal from the second device; measuring a signal gain from the signal on each of the plurality of antenna ports; determining which concerned direction interval the second device occupies based on an antenna port having the highest signal gain and on one of the adjacent pair of antenna ports to the antenna port having the highest signal gain having a higher signal gain; and determining the information from the second device based on the determined concerned direction interval.
