  • Publication number: 20230421208
    Abstract: A wireless access point (AP) may communicate with a user equipment (UE) device via reflection off a reflective device having an array of fixed or adjustable reflectors in different orientations. The AP may illuminate different portions of an area by pointing a signal beam to different reflectors and/or by controlling the reflective device to electrically rotate the reflectors. The AP may calibrate the position of the reflective device and may establish wireless communications with the UE device by performing a sweep of signal beams over the reflectors and/or by controlling the reflective device to sweep over different reflector orientations. The AP may track movement of the UE device over time. The AP may sweep the AP beam over a subset of the reflectors around an active reflector to maintain communications with the UE device even as the UE device moves over time.

  • Publication number: 20230088180
    Abstract: Aspects of the subject technology relate to communication device used as a power meter. The communication device includes circuitry to determine values of several forces and a processor. The processor determines a combined force by combining the determined values of the forces. The processor further determines a value of a power based on the s combined force, a speed and a loss factor. The communication device is used by a user to measure the power. The power is generated by the user when engaged in an activity, and the forces affect a movement of the user.
