Abstract
A method on a first device for estimating path-loss between the first device and a second device is described. A user context indicator associated with the first device is determined. At least one path-loss parameter of a plurality of path-loss parameters for the first device is updated based on the user context indicator. At least one wireless signal is received from the second device. The path-loss between the first device and the second device is estimated based on the plurality of path-loss parameters and the at least one wireless signal.
Claims21
On a first device, a method for estimating a path-loss between the first device and a second device, the method comprising:
- determining a user context indicator associated with the first device;
- updating at least one path-loss parameter of a plurality of path-loss parameters for the first device based on the user context indicator;
- receiving at least one wireless signal from the second device;
- estimating the path-loss between the first device and the second device based on the plurality of path-loss parameters and the at least one wireless signal.
A first electronic device comprising:
- a wireless transceiver;
- a non-transitory memory;
- and
- a processor configured to retrieve instructions from the memory;
- wherein the first electronic device is configured to:
- determine a user context indicator associated with the first electronic device;
- update at least one path-loss parameter of a plurality of path-loss parameters for the first electronic device based on the user context indicator;
- receive, via the wireless transceiver, at least one wireless signal from a second electronic device;
- and
- estimate the path-loss between the first electronic device and the second electronic device based on the plurality of path-loss parameters and the at least one wireless signal.
