Link emission control

摘要

Establishing a communication link may include transmitting by a first device an unmodulated first electromagnetic EHF signal and receiving by a second device the first electromagnetic EHF signal. The second device may determine whether the received first electromagnetic EHF signal indicates that a first shield portion and a second shield portion are in alignment. The transmission of a modulated second electromagnetic EHF signal may be enabled when the received first electromagnetic EHF signal indicates that both the shield portions are in alignment. The transmission of a modulated second signal may be disabled when the received first electromagnetic EHF signal indicates that the first and second shield portions are not in alignment.

主权项

1. A method for managing a communication link between a first device and a second device, the method comprising:
receiving by the second device a first electromagnetic EHF signal transmitted by the first device, the first device comprising a first transmitter and a first receiver partially enclosed by a first shield portion, and the second device comprising a second transmitter and a second receiver partially enclosed by a second shield portion; determining by the second device whether the received first electromagnetic EHF signal indicates that the first shield portion of the first device and the second shield portion of the second device are in alignment; and in response to a determination that the received first electromagnetic EHF signal indicates that the first shield portion and the second shield portion are in alignment, enabling by the second device transmission of a modulated second electromagnetic EHF signal by the second device.
