Abstract:
Methods and devices for estimating an angle between a transmitter and a receiver for beamforming are provided. A method includes, with an antenna element in a first device, transmitting an omnidirectional pulse and detecting an echo of the pulse reflected from a second device. An angle between the first device and the second device is estimated based at least on a characteristic of the echo. The method includes transmitting the angle to the second device for use in beamforming between the first device and the second device.
