Abstract:
Various aspects of the disclosure relate to co-existence of millimeter wave (mmW) communication and radar. In some aspects, a device that supports mmW communication and radar operations may determine whether or when to conduct radar operations based on information obtained about a nearby mmW network. For example, prior to sending radar signals, the device may monitor for mmW communication signals. As another example, the device may send at least one mmW communication signal to reserve a communication medium for subsequent radar operations. As yet another example, the device may conduct radar operations during idle or allocated time periods defined by the mmW network.

Abstract:
Power saving techniques for radar-based proximity sensing can include conducting proximity scans with a radar system in an omnidirectional proximity sensing mode in which signals are transmitted without directionality. Once an object is detected within a threshold proximity, the radar system can then switch to a directional proximity sensing mode to provide accurate directional detection capabilities in a desired field of view (FOV).
