Abstract
A first message is received, wherein the first message comprises information indicative of a spatial propagation characteristic of the first message. A beam configuration is determined based on the information. Then, a directed, beam-formed second message is transmitted using the beam configuration.
Claims22
A method, comprising:
- a first device receiving at least one first message on a wireless link from a second device, wherein the at least one first message comprising comprises information indicative of a spatial propagation characteristic of the at least one first message, wherein the spatial propagation characteristic comprises a propagation direction at the second device,
- determining a beam configuration of a plurality of antennas of the first device based on the information, and
- the first device transmitting a directed, beam-formed second message on the wireless link using the beam configuration.
(canceled)
A device comprising:
- a control circuitry configured to receive at least one first message on a wireless link from a further device, the at least one first message comprising information indicative of a spatial propagation characteristic of the at least one first message, the spatial propagation characteristic comprising a propagation direction at the further device
- wherein the control circuitry is further configured to determine a beam configuration of a plurality of antennas of the device based on the information, and
- wherein the control circuitry is further configured to transmit a directed, beam-formed second message on the wireless link using the beam configuration.
A method, comprising:
- a second device transmitting at least one first message on a wireless link to a first device, the at least one first message comprising information indicative of a spatial propagation characteristic of the at least one first message,
- the second device receiving a directed, beam-formed message second message on the wireless link from the first device.
