Abstract:
Wi-Fi proximity considerations within single user, multiple user, multiple access, and/or MIMO wireless communications. Communications between a 1wireless communication device (WDEV) (e.g., mobile) and a 2WDEV (e.g., terminal) are effectuated using wireless local area network (WLAN) based communications. Such communications may be adaptively performed based on at least one of proximity of the 1WDEV to the 2WDEV and a predetermined movement of the 1WDEV with respect to the 2WDEV or an object associated with the 2WDEV. For example, such a transaction may be effectuated between the 1WDEV and the 2WDEV based on at least one (e.g., any one, any combination, any sub-combination, etc.) of received signal strength indicator (RSSI), angle of arrival (AoA), and time of flight (ToF) associated with at least one communication between the 1WDEV and the 2WDEV.
