Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for performing both wireless communications and wireless sensing in combination. The systems include at least a first base station having at least one antenna device where the antenna device includes a beamformer control unit that uses a modifiable lookup table to control beam characteristics. The system may send a first set of electromagnetic sensing beams to a first environmental area within a field of view of the at least one antenna device to detect environmental objects within the environmental area. Based on data received by the antenna device, the system may generate a modified lookup table.
