Beamforming Antenna Array with Dual-Circuit Proximity Detection

The patent divides the beamforming operation into two distinct phases: a beam training phase using multiple antennas to establish beam patterns, and a data transmission phase using a reduced subset of antennas. This segmentation allows the system to achieve reliable beamforming capability during training while reducing complexity during actual data transmission, as only the necessary subset of antennas remains active.

The system dynamically adjusts the number of active antennas based on the operational phase. During beam training, all antennas are activated to perform comprehensive beam pattern establishment. During data transmission, the system transitions to a dynamic state where only a subset of antennas remains active, reducing complexity while maintaining beamforming effectiveness through the pre-established beam patterns.

The patent applies partial action by performing beam training only to the extent necessary for reliable connection establishment. Instead of continuously executing complete beam training processes, the system performs beam training once to establish beam patterns, then uses a reduced subset of antennas for data transmission. This partial approach maintains connection reliability while significantly reducing power consumption during ongoing communications.

The beam training process is performed as a preliminary action before data transmission. By completing the beam pattern establishment in advance using all antennas, the system creates a foundation for reliable connection that eliminates the need for repeated full beam training sequences during data transmission, thereby reducing power consumption while maintaining connection reliability.

The patent segments the beamforming process into an initial beam training phase that achieves accurate beam pattern establishment, followed by a data transmission phase that uses a subset of antennas. This segmentation ensures that beam pattern accuracy is achieved during the training phase through comprehensive antenna usage, while the subsequent transmission phase reduces time loss by using pre-established patterns with fewer antennas.

The beam training process is executed as a preliminary action before data transmission begins. By completing the time-consuming beam pattern establishment in advance with all antennas, the system achieves high measurement precision for beam directions. The pre-established beam patterns then enable faster data transmission without repeatedly incurring the full beam training time penalty.
