METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR FOCUSED DATA COMMUNICATIONS
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A wireless communication system comprising:
- a first subset of a plurality of antenna elements, wherein the first subset form a plurality of directional lobes that are monitored for a new client device;
a second subset of the plurality of antenna elements;
an array controller that is communicatively coupled to the plurality of antenna elements;
wherein the array controller;
detects, using the first subset of the plurality of antenna elements, a first signal from the new client device,determines a first location of the new client device in three-dimensional space based on a reverse timing, wherein the reverse timing is a difference between a time when the first signal is received by a first antenna element and a second antenna element of the first subset of the plurality of antenna elements,tunes the second subset of the plurality of antenna elements to generate constructive interference of an electromagnetic wave at the first location; and
transmits, using the second subset of the plurality of antenna elements, the electromagnetic wave to the new client device.
