Abstract
In some implementations, a base station may provide a first continuous wave signal during a first period of time. The base station may receive, from a first device, a first response signal based on providing the first continuous wave signal. The base station may provide, to the first device, a second continuous wave signal during a second period of time subsequent to the first period of time, wherein the second continuous wave signal is provided based on receiving the first response. The base station may receive, from the first device, a second response signal based on providing the second continuous wave, wherein the second response signal includes device data obtained by the first device.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- providing a first continuous wave signal during a first period of time;
- receiving, from a first device, a first response signal based on providing the first continuous wave signal;
- providing, to the first device, a second continuous wave signal during a second period of time subsequent to the first period of time,
- wherein the second continuous wave signal is provided based on receiving the first response;
- and
- receiving, from the first device, a second response signal based on providing the second continuous wave,
- wherein the second response signal includes device data obtained by the first device.
A first device, comprising:
- one or more processors configured to:
- provide a first continuous wave signal, via a scanning beam, during a first period of time;
- receive, from a second device, a first response signal reflected from the first continuous wave signal;
- provide, to the second device, a second continuous wave signal during a second period of time subsequent to the first period of time;
- receive, from the second device, a second response signal reflected from the second continuous wave signal,
- wherein the second response signal includes device data obtained by the second device;
- and
- provide the device data to cause an action to be performed based on the device data.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a set of instructions, the set of instructions comprising:
- one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a base station, cause the base station to:
- provide a first backscatter continuous wave signal, via a scanning beam, during a first period of time;
- receive, from a device, a first response signal reflected from the first backscatter continuous wave signal;
- assign, based on receiving the first response signal, a bandwidth part associated with communicating with the device;
- provide, to the device and using the bandwidth part, a second backscatter continuous wave signal during a second period of time subsequent to the first period of time;
- and
- receive, from the device and via the bandwidth part, a second response signal reflected from the second backscatter continuous wave signal,
- wherein the second response signal includes device data obtained by the device.
