Patent ID: 8260324

Claim:
A method, comprising: defining a target selection vector, the target selection vector being defined based on at least a direction from a wireless communication device towards a target device and a distance component corresponding to the distance from the wireless communication device to the target device, the distance component being defined by a distance that the wireless communication device is moved from the time the target selection vector determination is initiated until the time the target selection vector determination is completed; computing location information for devices within communication range of the wireless communication device prior to establishing wireless networks including any of the devices within communication range and the wireless communication device, the location information including at least a target location vector for each device, based on a direction-of-arrival estimation determined with an antenna array in the wireless communication device; determining a subset of potential target devices by comparing the target selection vector to the target location vector for each device; and establishing a wireless network including at least one of the devices in the subset of potential target devices and the wireless communication device wherein the direction from the wireless communication device towards the target device is defined by a distance that the wireless communication device is rotated from the time the target selection vector determination is initiated until the time the target selection vector determination is completed.
