/Hybrid Non-line-of-sight Detection In Wireless Networks
Abstract

Devices, systems, methods, and processes for hybrid line-of-sight (LOS) / non-line of sight (NLOS) detection are described herein. To facilitate co-existence and co-operation of a fixed network and a wireless network sharing a same frequency band without interference, a device in the wireless network can be configured to perform automatic frequency coordination (AFC). The device can accurately determine a geolocation of the device by utilizing global navigation satellite system (GNSS) data and light detection and ranging (LiDAR) data. The device can also determine whether the fixed station is in the LOS by utilizing the GNSS data and the LiDAR data. The device can further correct the geolocation and improve an accuracy of the LOS / NLOS detection by using both: the GNSS data and the LiDAR data simultaneously. The device can further control an output power when the fixed station is in the LOS, thereby avoiding the interference.
