Abstract
A first device includes an ultra-wideband (UWB) antenna, a non-UWB communication device, and one or more processors. The one or more processors may be configured to detect a UWB signal received from a second device via the UWB antenna. The one or more processors may be configured to generate a measurement report corresponding to the UWB signal. The one or more processors may be configured to transmit, via a transmitter, the measurement report to the second device via the non-UWB communication device.
Claims11
A method, comprising:
- detecting, by a first device, a ultra-wideband (UWB) signal, comprising a physical layer protocol data unit (PPDU), received from a second device via a UWB antenna of the first device, the PPDU including a communication parameter;
- communicating, from a physical layer of the first device through a medium access control (MAC) layer to an application of the first device, measurement data corresponding to the UWB signal;
- generating, by the first device, a measurement report corresponding to the UWB signal;
- determining, by the first device, based on the communication parameter, a transmission mode for the measurement report;
- and
- transmitting, by the first device, based on the determined transmission mode, the measurement report to the second device via a non-UWB communication device of the first device.
