Dual function edge device and method for accelerating UE-specific beamforming

Patent number: 11275147

Abstract: An edge device includes a first antenna array and control circuitry that activates a sensing function to sense a surrounding area of the edge device and generates a 3D environment representation of the surrounding area of the edge device. The control circuitry recognizes a first user equipment (UE) in motion to be a valid device to receive one or more services from the edge device and track a position of the first UE in motion from the edge device. The control circuitry executes beamforming to direct a first beam of RF signal having a signal strength greater than a threshold to the first UE in motion that is recognized as the valid device, based on the track of the position of the first UE and the generated 3D environment representation for high-performance communication.
