Method and system for 60 GHz antenna adaptation and user coordination based on base station beacons

A system for enabling communication between a plurality of devices, said system comprising:

• one or more circuits for use in a first device, said first device comprising one or more wireless interfaces, said one or more circuits being operable to:
• transmit a first 60 GHz beacon signal, wherein said first 60 GHz beacon signal is swept over a plurality of angles during said transmission;
• and/or
• receive from a corresponding one or more other devices, one or more other 60 GHz beacon signals that are swept over a plurality of angles, wherein:
• said corresponding one or more other devices each comprise one or more wireless interfaces;
• and
• each of said received swept one or more other 60 GHz beacon signals indicates an angle of reception of said received swept one or more other 60 GHz beacon signals and/or a relative direction with respect to a particular one of said corresponding one or more other devices;
• and
• utilize said angle of reception and/or said relative direction to enable beamforming of an adaptive and/or steered antenna for communication with at least one of said corresponding one or more other devices.

A method for enabling communication between a plurality of devices, said method comprising:

• in a first device, said first device comprising one or more wireless interfaces and one or more adaptive antennas:
• transmitting a first 60 GHz beacon signal, wherein said first 60 GHz beacon signal is swept over a plurality of angles during said transmitting;
• and/or
• receiving from corresponding one or more other devices, one or more other 60 GHz beacon signals that are swept over a plurality of angles, wherein said corresponding one or more other devices each comprise one or more wireless interfaces;
• and
• determining a direction and/or distance relative to at least one of said corresponding one or more other devices based on said first 60 GHz beacon signal and/or said one or more other 60 GHz beacon signals;
• utilizing said determined direction and/or distance to:
• enable an antenna adaptation processes for said one or more adaptive antennas;
• and
• establish a connection to said at least one of said corresponding one or more other devices, via said one or more adaptive antennas and a 60 GHz link;
• and
• tracking movements of said at least one of said corresponding one or more other devices via said one or more adaptive antennas to maintain communications with said at least one of said corresponding one or more other devices.
