Abstract
A method for positioning a terminal device using an apparatus is provided. The method comprises: performing a first positioning of the terminal device based on WiFi angle estimation received from the terminal device: rotating a mmW antenna array to a target direction based on the first positioning: transmitting a radar signal via the rotated mmW antenna array; and performing a second positioning of the terminal device based on an echo received from the terminal device.

A method for positioning a terminal device using an apparatus, the method comprising:
- performing a first positioning of the terminal device based on WiFi angle estimation received from the terminal device;
- rotating a mmW antenna array to a target direction based on the first positioning;
- transmitting a radar signal via the rotated mmW antenna array;
- and
- performing a second positioning of the terminal device based on an echo received from the terminal device.
An apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor;
- at least one memory including computer program code;
- the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform operations including:
- performing a first positioning of the terminal device based on WiFi angle estimation received from the terminal device;
- rotating a mmW antenna array to a target direction based on the first positioning;
- transmitting a radar signal via the rotated mmW antenna array;
