Original Abstract Submitted

a method and network node for spatial audio assisted radio frequency (rf) beamforming for millimeter wave and terahertz communications in safe mode are disclosed. according to one aspect, a method in a network node includes triggering a wireless device (wd) to transmit at least one acoustic pulse, the triggering being prior to entering a safe mode of operation. the method also includes determining a direction of arrival of the at least one acoustic pulse received from the wd via the microphone array. the method further includes determining an rf beam for communication with the wd based at least in part on the determined direction of arrival. transmission to the wd may occur on the determined rf beam.
