Sensor fusion for antenna tuning

Abstract

Sensor fusion for antenna tuning for wireless devices is provided to enhance antenna tuning and reduce power consumption of wireless devices. A sensor management component (SMC) obtains sensor information from sensors associated with a wireless device and determines position and/or orientation of the wireless device in relation to the user, and/or tracks movement of the wireless device. The SMC communicates sensor-based information relating to the position, orientation, and/or movement associated with the wireless device to a tuner management component (TMC) associated with a tuner component and a set of antennas. The TMC determines electrical measurements of the signal from the set of antennas, and determines a tuning setting for the set of antennas based on the sensor-based information and/or the electrical measurements. The TMC provides control information to the tuner component to adjust the tuning of the set of antennas based on the tuning setting.
