  • This study experimentally validated the possibility of angle of departure (AoD) estimation using multiple signal classification (MUSIC) with only WiFi control frames for beamforming feedback (BFF), defined in IEEE 802.11ac/ax. The examined BFF-based MUSIC is a model-driven algorithm, which does not require a pre-obtained database. This contrasts with most existing BFF-based sensing techniques, which are data-driven and require a pre-obtained database. Moreover, the BFF-based MUSIC affords an alternative AoD estimation method without access to channel state information (CSI). Specifically, the extensive experimental and numerical evaluations demonstrated that the BFF-based MUSIC successfully estimates the AoDs for multiple propagation paths. Moreover, the evaluations performed in this study revealed that the BFF-based MUSIC achieved a comparable error of AoD estimation to the CSI-based MUSIC, while BFF is a highly compressed version of CSI in IEEE 802.11ac/ax.
