  • Publication number: 20240039152
    Abstract: A system that improves wireless communication between a wireless base station and a plurality of remote wireless computing user devices (UEs) based on aiming downlink wireless signals from a base station in a beam shaped waveform in a determined direction for each remote UE that is identified as allocated a time period for communication with the base station according to a schedule. The system includes different types of components may be employed to implement various functions, including an angle of arrival (AoA) detector component, a downlink protocol decoder component, and an antenna controller component. The AoA detector component may be employed to monitor one or more radio frequency (RF) wireless signals radiated by UEs that are communicating with the base station in accordance with an allocation schedule.

  • Publication number: 20220302992
    Abstract: Filtering for sampled data representing uplink wireless RF signals monitored by a pair of antennas is provided to improve accuracy in determining an angular location of an identified UE. An extracted portion of the filtered sampled data is used to improve accuracy in determining an angular location of the identified UE. The extracted portion represents direct path uplink wireless RF signals that have traveled by a line of sight between the pair of antennas and the identified UE. Another portion of the filtered sampled data is cancelled, which represents multiple path (multipath) uplink wireless RF signals that have traveled a longer distance than the direct path signals due to reflection from one or more surfaces on multiple paths between the identified UE and the pair of antennas.
