    摘要: An antenna device includes a plurality of dipole antennas and a port. Each of the dipole antennas is connected to the port. The dipole antennas are arranged around the port. Each of the dipole antennas comprises two ends. The device further includes a plurality of passive elements. The ends of the dipole antennas and the passive elements are interchangeably arranged around the port such that each of the passive elements is situated between ends of two different antennas from the plurality of dipole antennas. One or more switches are configured to switch between an omnidirectional state, in which the ends of the dipole antennas are not connected to the plurality of passive elements, and a directional state, in which at least one end of one of the passive elements is connected to at least one end of one of the antennas.

    摘要: An apparatus and a method for providing an efficient multi-client access in a WLAN, the method comprising the step of: when the number of clients exceeds a threshold, creating at least two virtual access points (VAP1, VAP2, VAP3); load balancing by distributing workloads across the created at least two virtual access points; and dynamically allocating at least one quality of service parameter (e.g., timeslots, AIFS, TXOP, maximum and minimum contention window) to each of the created at least two virtual access points.

    摘要: A radio station, in particular an access point, for client localization in a multipath indoor environment is disclosed. The radio station comprises: a circular antenna array comprising uniform circularly arranged antenna elements; and a processor configured to: transform first input data from the circular antenna array into second input data using a transform that transforms the first steering vector of the circular antenna array into a second steering vector of a virtual linear antenna array; and transform the second input data into third input data by using a transform that transforms the second steering vector of the virtual linear antenna array into a third steering vector of a second virtual linear antenna array, comprising a larger number of antenna elements than the virtual linear antenna array; and determine an angle of arrival based on the third input data.
