Abstract:
Communication devices and corresponding methods for RF-based communication and position determination are disclosed. An initiator communication device ( 1 ) comprises an antenna unit ( 10 ) configured to transmit and receive RF signals, a beamforming unit ( 11 ) configured to perform beamforming and to control the antenna unit to transmit and/or receive RF signals using one or more selected beams, a control unit ( 12 ) configured to control the beamforming unit ( 11 ) in a training phase to perform beamforming for determining an initiator line of sight (LOS), beam to a responder communication device ( 2 ), and a processing unit ( 13 ) configured to determine the initiator LOS beam and/or initiator angular information of the initiator LOS beam and to determine the position of said communication device using the determined initiator LOS beam and/or initiator angular information in a measurement phase.

Claim (Index 13):
The communication device as claimed in  claim 11 ,\n wherein the control unit is configured to control the beamforming unit and the antenna unit in the measurement phase to append training subfields to FTM frames and to exchange at least the last training subfield with the responder communication device via the communication channel using the determined initiator LOS beam.
