Abstract
The present disclosure relates to an electronic device in a wireless communication system, a communication method and storage medium. Provided is a method for estimating a channel angle of departure (AOD) that includes, by means of multiple antenna arrays, using the same analog beam formation parameters to transmit a reference signal so as to form a first combined beam and a second combined beam having different directions. The method further includes determining the relative beam gain for the two combined beams, and determining the channel AOD on the basis of a mapping relationship between the relative beam gain and the channel AOD.
