Abstract
Disclosed herein are related to a system and a method for determining an Angle of Approach (AoA) of a device. A first device may receive a report from a second device having a plurality of ultra-wideband (UWB) devices. The report may include a plurality of values comprising an elevation component and an azimuth component of the AoA from the first device. At least some of the plurality of values may be obtained according to measurements between the plurality of UWB devices of the second devices and the at least one UWB device of the first device. The first device may determine an AoA from the second device, using the plurality of values from the report received from the second device.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- receiving, by a first device having at least one ultra-wideband (UWB) device, from a second device having a plurality of UWB devices, a report including a plurality of values comprising an elevation component of an angle of approach (AoA) from the first device and an azimuth component of the AoA from the first device, at least some of the plurality of values obtained according to measurements between the plurality of UWB devices of the second devices and the at least one UWB device of the first device;
- and
- determining, by the first device, an AoA from the second device, using the plurality of values from the report received from the second device.
A first device, comprising:
- at least one ultra-wideband (UWB) device;
- and
- one or more processors configured to:
- receive, from a second device having a plurality of UWB devices, a report including a plurality of values comprising an elevation component of an angle of approach (AoA) from the first device and an azimuth component of the AoA from the first device, at least some of the plurality of values obtained according to measurements between the plurality of UWB devices of the second devices and the at least one UWB device of the first device;
- and
- determine an AoA from the second device, using the plurality of values from the report received from the second device.
A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors in a first device to:
- receive, from a second device having a plurality of UWB devices, a report including a plurality of values comprising an elevation component of an angle of approach (AoA) from a first device and an azimuth component of the AoA from the first device, at least some of the plurality of values obtained according to measurements between the plurality of UWB devices of the second devices and the at least one UWB device of the first device;
- and
- determine an AoA from the second device, using the plurality of values from the report received from the second device.
