Abstract
A method including: wirelessly transmitting and receiving data packets between first and second apparatuses; determining first and second angles of arrival at each apparatus for electromagnetic waves of the received data packets; providing first and second directions of arrival corresponding to the angles of arrival; converting the first and second directions into a global frame; projecting the first and second converted directions onto a horizontal plane; and computing a first drift estimate for a gyroscope or IMU of the first apparatus relative to the second apparatus, and/or computing a second drift estimate for a gyroscope or IMU of the second apparatus relative to the first apparatus, the first drift estimate being based on a difference between the projected second direction and a mirrored projected first direction, and the second drift estimate being based on a difference between the projected first direction and a mirrored projected second direction.
