1. An edge device, comprising:
a first antenna array that comprises a first portion and one or more second portions; and
control circuitry configured to:
sense a surrounding area of the edge device by use of the first portion of the first antenna array; and
execute beamforming to direct a first beam of radio frequency (RF) signal having a signal strength greater than a threshold to a first user equipment (UE), by use of the one or more second portions of the first antenna array,
wherein the first portion of the first antenna array includes a first set of antenna elements that radiate an RF wave in an out-of-band mmWave frequency for the sensing of the surrounding area, and wherein the one or more second portions of the first antenna array includes a second set of antenna elements that radiate the first beam of RF signal in an in-band mmWave frequency that is owned or operated by one of a plurality of different wireless carrier networks (WCNs) for an uplink and a downlink cellular communication with the first UE.
