Abstract
Disclosed herein are apparatuses and a method for improving wireless communication characteristics by matching transmitter antenna patterns to receiver antenna patterns. An embodiment operates by generating a station profile for each of a plurality of stations based on a structure of each of the plurality of stations and an antenna pattern group of each of the plurality of stations. The embodiment then identifies a station profile of a first station from among the plurality of stations based on information received from the first station. Finally, the embodiment searches for an antenna pattern for the first station using the antenna pattern group corresponding to the station profile.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- generating a station profile for each of a plurality of stations based on an antenna configuration of each of the plurality of stations;
- identifying a station profile of a first station from among the plurality of stations based on information received from the first station;
- and
- searching for an antenna pattern for the first station using an antenna pattern group corresponding to the station profile of the first station.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium (CRM) having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by at least one computing device, cause the at least one computing device to perform operations comprising:
- generating a station profile for each of a plurality of stations based on at least one of an antenna configuration of each of the plurality of stations and a spatial stream characteristic of each of the plurality of stations;
- identifying a station profile of a first station from among the plurality of stations based on information received from the first station;
- and
- searching for an antenna pattern for the first station using an antenna pattern group corresponding to the station profile of the first station.
An apparatus, comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- at least one processor coupled to the memory and configured to:
- generate a station profile for each of a plurality of stations based on at least one of a degree of multiple input multiple output (MIMO) capability of each of the plurality of stations and a spatial stream characteristic of each of the plurality of stations;
- identify a station profile of a first station from among the plurality of stations based on information received from the first station;
- and
- search for an antenna pattern for the first station using an antenna pattern group corresponding to the station profile of the first station.
