Abstract
The invention relates to a control device for controlling radio frequency sensing in a network (), e.g. Zigbee or Wi-Fi network, comprising a detection area (). The control device () comprises a neighboring network information providing unit (), wherein the neighboring network () comprises a neighbor network device () neighboring a network device of the network (), and a network controlling unit () for controlling a network device () based on the provided neighboring network information such that the network device of the network is enabled to detect a signal usable for radio frequency sensing in a detection area () extending outside of the detection area of the network () and/or for radio frequency sensing in the detection area of the network (), wherein the detected signal is transmitted by at least one neighbor network device. This allows to improve the radio frequency detection in peripheral areas of a network.
