BEAMFORMING FOR BACKSCATTER RADIO - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17931886 titled 'BEAMFORMING FOR BACKSCATTER RADIO
Simplified Explanation
The patent application abstract describes an apparatus for wireless communication, specifically for radio frequency identification (RFID) communications. The apparatus includes memory with instructions and processors to execute the instructions, allowing it to interact with RFID devices.
- The apparatus is configured for wireless communication, specifically RFID communications.
- It includes memory with instructions and processors to execute those instructions.
- The processors can obtain signals from RFID devices and output backscatter signals indicating beamforming capability.
Potential Applications
The technology could be used in inventory management systems, access control systems, and asset tracking systems that rely on RFID technology.
Problems Solved
This technology solves the problem of efficiently communicating with RFID devices and indicating the apparatus's beamforming capability in response to signals received from RFID devices.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include improved communication with RFID devices, enhanced beamforming capability indication, and potential for use in various applications such as inventory management and asset tracking.
Original Abstract Submitted
Aspects of the disclosure are directed to an apparatus configured for wireless communication. The apparatus may include any wireless communication device configured for radio frequency identification (RFID) communications. In some examples, the apparatus includes a memory comprising instructions, and one or more processors configured to execute the instructions. In some examples, the one or more processors are configured to cause the apparatus to obtain a first signal from a radio frequency identifier (RFID) device. In some examples, the one or more processors are configured to cause the apparatus to output, for transmission to the RFID device in response to the first signal, a first backscatter signal configured to indicate a beamforming capability of the apparatus.
