Abstract
A communication device and a method for determining an information from a second device including setting an initial beamforming pattern is provided. The initial beamforming pattern includes a beamforming direction and a corresponding beamforming area for each of the plurality of antenna ports, including determining a concerned direction interval based on overlapping beamforming areas of adjacent pairs of the plurality of antenna ports, receiving a signal from the second device, measuring a signal gain from the signal on each of the plurality of antenna ports, determining which concerned direction interval the second device occupies based on an antenna port having the highest signal gain and on one of the adjacent pair of antenna ports to the antenna port having the highest signal gain having a higher signal gain, and determining the information from the second device based on the determined concerned direction interval.
