Patent ID: 11019505

Abstract:
An information handling system, may include a processor. a memory; a wireless adapter to determine whether a millimeter-wave (mm-wave) connection is established between the information handling system and a 5G access point; a triangulation module to, when the wireless adapter determines no mm-wave connection between the information handling system and the 5G access point: determine the location of the information handling system using a triangulation process initiated within a mesh network having a plurality of nodes; calculate angle data descriptive of an angle of the information handling system relative to the 5G access point based on triangulation data obtained during the triangulation process; calculate distance data descriptive of a distance of the information handling system from 5G access point based on the triangulation data; and calculate orientation data descriptive of the orientation of the information handling system based on sensor data obtained from an orientation sensor of the information handling system; and a beamsteering module to: conduct beamsweeping of a plurality of angles for a mm-wave antenna array using the angle data as an initial seed angle for the beamsweeping; determine a selected beamsteering pattern from the information handling system to the 5G access point to initiate the mm-wave communication with the 5G access point based on signal quality above a threshold level; and determine that the information handling system is within range of the 5G access point to enable the mm-wave connection between the information handling system and 5G access point using the selected beamsteering pattern.
