Patent ID: 11632163

Abstract:
A communication device, computer program product, and method provide improved communication performance by a wearable communication device. The communication device receives multipaths of a millimeter wave (mmWave) signal created by a wearable radio frequency (RF) reflecting surface being worn by a person. Controller of the communication device identifies a first direction from which a direct path downlink signal is received and a second direction from which a corresponding a multipath downlink signal is received. The controller determines that the multipath downlink signal is being reflected from the wearable RF reflecting surface. In response to determining that the multipath downlink signal is being reflected from the wearable RF reflecting surface, the controller synchronizes and aggregates the direct path downlink signal and the multipath downlink signal to produce a processed downlink signal that is a better signal than the direct path downlink signal. The controller demodulates the processed downlink signal.
