Abstract:
An apparatus includes an antenna and a transceiver. The transceiver transmits a first signal via the antenna, the first signal including a unique identification of the apparatus and a request for receive information about the first signal at a receiver. The transceiver receives from the receiver a second signal via the antenna, the second signal including first information about a direction of arrival (DoA) of the first signal at the receiver and second information indicative of a location of the receiver.
