Abstract
Embodiments provide for guided alignment of the orientation of two wireless devices. A first wireless device is at a known position and a known orientation. A signal from a second wireless device is received via a plurality of receive elements of the first wireless device. The first wireless device measures phase differences of the signal at the plurality of receive elements, and determines locations of each of the second wireless device's transmit elements based on the differences. Based on the transmit element locations, and a known antenna layout of the second wireless device, an orientation of the second wireless device is determined. Based on differences between the determined orientation and the known orientation of the first wireless device, instructions for aligning the devices are generated. Once the devices are aligned, location estimates of a third wireless device are made by both the first wireless device and the second wireless device.
