Abstract
A method for operating a first radio of a number of radios within a radio frequency system may include sending a first command to the first radio of the plurality of radios to initiate an antenna sector level sweep and determining a first set of metrics associated with a first set of signals from other radios of the plurality of radios that correspond to the antenna sector level sweep. The method may also include receiving a second set of metrics associated with the first set of signals from a responder electronic device and identifying a sector of a number of sectors associated with the antenna sector level sweep based on the first set of metrics and the second set of metrics. The method may then involve sending a second command to the first radio to transmit data to the responder device via the identified sector.
