METHOD AND BASE STATION FOR ESTIMATING ANGLE OF ARRIVAL OF SIGNAL - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18451786 titled 'METHOD AND BASE STATION FOR ESTIMATING ANGLE OF ARRIVAL OF SIGNAL
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a system and method for determining the Angle of Arrival (AoA) of a signal by a base station. The technique involves configuring different time intervals and multiple phase shifts across an antenna array of the base station. The signal from User Equipments (UEs) is received at these different time intervals and phase shifts. Phase angles of the received signal are estimated, and the AoA of the signal is determined based on these phase angles.
- The system/method determines the AoA of a signal received by a base station.
- Different time intervals and multiple phase shifts are configured across an antenna array.
- The signal from UEs is received at these different time intervals and phase shifts.
- Phase angles of the received signal are estimated.
- The AoA of the signal is determined based on the phase angles.
Potential Applications
- Wireless communication systems
- Mobile networks
- Antenna arrays

Original Abstract Submitted
A system and/or method for determining an Angle of Arrival (AoA) of a signal by a base station. The technique may include configuring different time intervals and multiple phase shifts across an antenna array of the base station. The technique may include receiving the signal from UEs at the different time intervals and the multiple phase shifts across the antenna array. The technique may include estimating phase angles of the signal received at the different time intervals and the multiple phase shifts. The technique may include determining the AoA of the signal received from the UEs based on the phase angles of the signal received at the different time intervals and the multiple phase shifts.
