Communication devices and corresponding methods for RF-based communication and position determination are disclosed. An initiator communication device (1) comprises an antenna unit (10) configured to transmit and receive RF signals, a beamforming unit (11) configured to perform beamforming and to control the antenna unit to transmit and/or receive RF signals using one or more selected beams, a control unit (12) configured to control the beamforming unit (11) in a training phase to perform beamforming for determining an initiator line of sight (LOS), beam to a responder communication device (2), and a processing unit (13) configured to determine the initiator LOS beam and/or initiator angular information of the initiator LOS beam and to determine the position of said communication device using the determined initiator LOS beam and/or initiator angular information in a measurement phase.
A communication device for RF-based communication and position determination, said communication device comprising:
A communication method for use by an initiator communication device for RF-based communication with a responder communication device and for position determination of the initiator communication device, said communication method comprising:
A communication device for RF-based communication and position determination, said communication device comprising:
A communication method for use by a responder communication device for RF-based communication with an initiator communication device and for acquisition of information for use in position determination of the initiator communication device, said communication method comprising:
