Abstract:
In some examples a method includes receiving, with an Access Point (AP), a request from a wireless device to access a network through the AP; determining, with the AP via beamforming of a fixed antenna array of the AP, whether an angle of the wireless device relative to the fixed antenna array is within a first predetermined range; determining, with the AP, whether a received signal strength between the AP and the wireless device is within a second predetermined range; and granting, with the AP, the wireless device access to a network through the AP when it is determined that the angle of the wireless device relative to the fixed antenna array is within the first predetermined range and the received signal strength is within the second predetermined range.
