Edge device and method for sensor-assisted beamforming.

Patent number: 12360230

Abstract: An edge device includes an antenna array and a sensor that senses a surrounding area of the edge device. The edge device further includes control circuitry that detects a user in the surrounding area of the edge device, tracks the detected first user in the surrounding area of the edge device based on the sensor, selects a first radiation pattern from a plurality of radiation patterns for a first beam of radio frequency (RF) signal based on a distance of the tracked user from the edge device, where the first radiation pattern is associated with a first communication range of the edge device, and controls the first antenna array to direct the first beam of RF signal in a first direction of the tracked first user, where the first beam of RF signal has the selected first radiation pattern and a signal strength greater than a first threshold.
