Abstract

A wireless communications system comprises a number of wireless communications devices. Within the system there is broadcast an orientation signal containing position data identifying the position of one or more of the devices. A mobile terminal operating in the system and in receipt of the position data contained in the orientation signal is able to use the position data to determine the position of a device towards which to direct a directional antenna of the mobile terminal.
