Abstract
Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide a method for wireless communications at a first node, generally including obtaining assistance information using at least one optical sensor and participating in optical wireless communication (OWC) with a second node with beam steering based on the assistance information.
Claims30
An apparatus for wireless communication at a first node, comprising:
- at least one memory comprising computer-executable instructions;
- and
- one or more processors configured to execute the computer-executable instructions and cause the apparatus to:
- obtain, from a second node via a first channel, assistance information using at least one optical sensor;
- exchange, with the second node over a second channel different from the first channel, control information regarding the assistance information;
- and
- participate in optical wireless communication (OWC) with the second node on the second channel with beam steering based on the assistance information.
An apparatus for wireless communication at a second node, comprising:
- at least one memory comprising computer-executable instructions;
- and
- one or more processors configured to execute the computer-executable instructions and cause the apparatus to:
- transmit assistance information to a first node via a first channel using at least one optical signal;
- exchange, with the first node over a second channel different from the first channel, control information regarding the assistance information;
- and
- participate in optical wireless communication (OWC) with the first node on at least the second channel with beam steering based on the assistance information.
