Abstract
A data transmitting device includes: a transmitter; a processor; and a memory comprising instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations. The operations include: performing beam forming processing with a terminal provided in at least one moving object; detecting a beam angle based on a result of the beam forming processing; estimating a position of the at least one moving object based on the beam angle and installation position information of the data transmitting device; determining whether the estimated position of the at least one moving object is within a communication area of the data transmitting device; and transmitting desired data to the at least one moving object through the transmitter if it is determined to be within the communication area.
Claims7
A data transmitting device comprising:
- a transmitter configured to modulate and demodulate millimeter-wave radio-frequencies;
- a processor;
- and
- a memory comprising instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
- performing, by the transmitter operating in conjunction with the processor and the memory, beam forming processing with a millimeter-wave terminal located in at least one moving object;
- detecting a beam angle from the beam forming processing based on a millimeter-wave terminal location and a location of the data transmitting device that is installed at a predetermined distance external from the at least one moving object;
- estimating a position of the at least one moving object based on the beam angle and the location of the data transmitting device;
- determining whether the estimated position of the at least one moving object is within a communication area of the data transmitting device for communication with suppressing radio frequency interference with another moving object;
- and
- transmitting desired data to the at least one moving object through the transmitter if it is determined to be within the communication area,
- wherein the beam forming processing is performed to provide a timeframe for the communication when the at least one moving object is moving.
A data transmitting method comprising:
- performing beam forming processing with a millimeter-wave terminal located in at least one moving object;
- detecting a beam angle from the beam forming processing based on a millimeter-wave terminal location and a location of a data transmitting device that is installed at a predetermined distance external from the at least one moving object;
- estimating a position of the at least one moving object based on the beam angle and the location of the data transmitting device that executes the data transmitting method;
- determining whether the estimated position of the at least one moving object is within a communication area of the data transmitting device that executes the data transmitting method for communication with suppressing radio frequency interference with another moving object;
- and
- transmitting desired data to the at least one moving object if it is determined to be within the communication area,
- wherein the beam forming processing is performed to provide a timeframe for the communication when the at least one moving object is moving.
