    Abstract: A first device and second device communicate using mmWave communication with antenna alignment based on processing of ultra wide band (UWB) pulses. A limit on angle resolution due to a small number of antennas on either of the devices is relieved by using two or more carrier frequencies in the UWB pulses. A limit on angle resolution is further overcome in some situations by use of a neural network to refine angle estimates. In some situations, received power values are further used to select an angle for beam alignment.

    Abstract: A method of location determination with a WiFi transceiver and an AI model includes jointly training, based on various losses: a feature extractor, a location classifier, and a domain classifier. The domain classifier may include a first domain classifier and a second domain classifier. The losses used for training tend to cause feature data from the feature extractor to cluster even if a physical object in an environment has moved after training is completed. Then, the location classifier is able to accurately estimate the position of, for example, a person in a room, even if a door or window has changed from open to close or close to open between the time of training and the time of estimating the person's position.
