Abstract
Present disclosure relates to a communication device. The communication device includes a body, a directional antenna array and a radiation structure. The directional antenna array is arranged on a first position of the body. The directional antenna array is configured to transmit a radio frequency signal in a first signal area. The directional antenna array has a non-line-of-sight signal blind area with respect to the body. The radiation structure is arranged on a second position of the body. The directional antenna array is configured to transmit the radio frequency signal guided from the directional antenna array to cover a second signal area. The second position is located in the non-line-of-sight signal blind area of the directional antenna array.

A communication device, comprising:
- a body;
- a directional antenna array, arranged on a first position of the body, being configured to transmit a radio frequency signal to cover a first signal area, wherein the directional antenna array has a non-line-of-sight signal blind area with respect to the body;
- a radiation structure, arranged on a second position of the body, being configured to receive the radio frequency signal delivered from the directional antenna array, and transmit the radio frequency signal to cover a second signal area, wherein the second position is located in the non-line-of-sight signal blind area of the directional antenna array;
- and
- a guiding structure, arranged between the first position and the second position of the body, having a first end and a second end, wherein the first end of the guiding structure is communicatively coupled to the directional antenna array in the first signal area and the second end of the guiding structure is communicatively coupled to the radiation structure in the second signal area, and the guiding structure is configured to guide the radio frequency signal from the directional antenna array to the radiation structure;
- wherein the guiding structure comprises a coupling part disposed on the first end to receive the radio frequency signal from the directional antenna array;
- wherein a wave leak structure is arranged between the first end and the second end of the guiding structure, the wave leak structure is configured to leak part of the radio frequency signal delivered from the directional antenna array to cover a third signal area;
- wherein a frequency band of the radio frequency signal passing though the leaked part and transmitted by the radiation structure is the same as a frequency band of the radio frequency signal transmitted by the directional antenna array.
A communication method, applied on a communication device that comprises a body, a directional antenna array and a radiation structure, the radiation structure is coupled to the directional antenna array, and the communication method comprising:
- transmitting, via the directional antenna array being arranged on a first position of the body, a radio frequency signal to cover a first signal area, wherein the directional antenna array has a non-line-of-sight signal blind area with respect to the body;
- delivering the radio frequency signal from the directional antenna array to the radiation structure;
- and
- transmitting, via the radiation structure being arranged on a second position of the body, the radio frequency signal delivered from the directional antenna array to cover a second signal area, wherein the second position is located in the non-line-of-sight signal blind area of the directional antenna array, wherein the radio frequency signal is delivered from a guiding structure arranged between the first position and the second position of the body to the radiation structure, the guiding structure has a first end being disposed in the first signal area and a second end being coupled to the radiation structure;
- and
- leaking, by a wave leak structure being arranged between the first end and the second end of the guiding structure, part of the radio frequency signal delivered from the directional antenna array to cover a third signal area;
- wherein a frequency band of the radio frequency signal passing though the leaked part and transmitted by the radiation structure is the same as a frequency band of the radio frequency signal transmitted by the directional antenna array.
