Edge device and method for sensor-assisted beamforming

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, and controls the first antenna array to direct, concurrently with the sensing of the surrounding area, a first beam of radio-frequency (RF) signal in a second frequency band in a first direction of the tracked first user, where the first frequency band is different from the second frequency band.
