Abstract
An interface circuit in an electronic device may receive samples of wireless signals in a time interval, where the wireless signals are associated with the second electronic device. Then, the interface circuit may generate, based at least in part on the samples and a number of paths in a channel in a wireless environment of the electronic device, a signal spectrum corresponding to a set of estimated wireless-communication parameters. Moreover, the interface circuit may select a lower wireless-communication parameter in the set of wireless-communication parameters having an associated regression model with a fit to the signal spectrum that exceeds a statistical confidence threshold. Next, the interface circuit may identify, based at least in part on the selected lower wireless-communication parameter, samples of the wireless signal in the wireless signals associated with the line of sight between the electronic device and the second electronic device.
