US 12,537,587 B2 · Receiver alignment to enhance signal quality in near-field communications

Abstract

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A receiver may orient its antenna arrays based on signaling from a transmitter and a distance between the receiver and the transmitter. The transmitter may transmit an indication of an orientation of its antenna array. The receiver may receive the indication and may determine the distance between the receiver and the transmitter. Based on whether the distance between the receiver and the transmitter satisfies a threshold distance from the transmitter, the receiver may select an orientation for its antenna array. The receiver may select a first antenna orientation based on the distance failing to satisfy the threshold distance and may select a second orientation based on the distance satisfying the threshold distance.

Dependent claims

A receiver for wireless communications, comprising:

one or more memories storing processor-executable code;
and
one or more processors coupled with the one or more memories and individually or collectively operable to execute the code to cause the receiver to:
receive an indication of a first orientation of a first antenna array of a transmitter;
and
communicate with the transmitter via a second antenna array of the receiver, wherein a second orientation of the second antenna array for the communicating is selected based at least in part on the first orientation and a comparison of a distance between the receiver and the transmitter to a threshold distance.
