Volume search, acquisition, and track
Wireless communication systems that contain users that are moving in position and incorporate directional antennas require volume search, acquisition, and tracking methods to discover and maintain the communication link. Volume search is used to discover the user, acquisition is used to acquire the user by narrowing down the position of the user in order to point the antenna in the direction of the user, and tracking is used to lock on to the user's position and maintains the position as the user is moving in order to point the antenna in the direction of the user. There are several methods used to implement volume search, acquisition, and track depending on the requirements and capabilities of each system.
