Abstract:

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. An access device in a network of access devices may determine that a wireless device is in a coverage area of one of the access devices based on a coverage pattern of the access devices and a sensor coupled with the access device. The access device may estimate a trajectory of the wireless device based on information obtained by the sensor. After estimating the trajectory of the wireless device, the access device may transmit an indication to one or more of the other access devices to enter (or remain in) an active state based on the trajectory of the wireless device and the coverage pattern. The indication may also include a set of beams for the other access device to activate.
