1. A first edge device, comprising:
a first antenna array;
a sensor configured to sense a surrounding area of the first edge device; and control circuitry configured to:
detect a first user in the surrounding area of the first edge device sensed by the sensor;
track the detected first user in the surrounding area of the first edge device based on the sensor;
control the first antenna array to direct a first beam of radio frequency (RF) signal having a signal strength greater than a first threshold in a first direction of the tracked first user;
determine location coordinates of a plurality of reflective objects in the surrounding area of the first edge device; and
utilize the determined location coordinates of the plurality of reflective objects to correlate a first radiation pattern of the first antenna array to the plurality of reflective objects.
