Angle of arrival capability in electronic devices

An electronic device, comprising:

• a processor configured to:
• obtain channel information, range information, and angle of arrival (AoA) information based on wireless signals communicated between an electronic device and an external electronic device;
• generate an initial prediction of a presence of the external electronic device relative to a field of view (FoV) of the electronic device based on the channel information and at least one of the range information or the AoA information, wherein the initial prediction includes an indication of whether the external electronic device is within the FoV or outside the FoV of the electronic device;
• perform, using a tracking filter, a smoothing operation on the range information and the AoA information;
• and
• determine that the external electronic device is within the FoV or outside the FoV of the electronic device based on the AoA information, the smoothed AoA information, and the initial prediction of the presence of the external electronic device relative to the FoV of the electronic device.

A non-transitory computer readable medium containing instructions that when executed cause at least one processor to:

• obtain channel information, range information, and angle of arrival (AoA) information based on wireless signals communicated between an electronic device and an external electronic device;
• generate an initial prediction of a presence of the external electronic device relative to a field of view (FoV) of the electronic device based on the channel information and at least one of the range information or the AoA information, wherein the initial prediction includes an indication of whether the external electronic device is within the FoV or outside the FoV of the electronic device;
• perform, using a tracking filter, a smoothing operation on the range information and the AoA information;
• and
• determine that the external electronic device is within the FoV or outside the FoV of the electronic device based on the AoA information, the smoothed AoA information, and the initial prediction of the presence of the external electronic device relative to the FoV of the electronic device.
