Abstract
A method of scheduling sessions in an Ultra-wideband, UWB, communications system, and a corresponding computer program, scheduler and UWB communications system. The method includes using a predictive scheduling algorithm to produce a predicted order of appearance of a plurality of UWB sessions in a UWB session sequence. The method also includes storing the predicted order in a buffer. The method further includes performing a plurality of iterations of: on completion of a preceding UWB session in the UWB session sequence, inspecting the buffer to determine a next UWB session in the UWB session sequence; and initiating that next UWB session.
Claims20
A method of scheduling sessions in an Ultra-wideband (UWB) communications system, the method comprising:
- using a predictive scheduling algorithm to produce a predicted order of appearance of a plurality of UWB sessions in a UWB session sequence;
- storing the predicted order in a buffer;
- and
- performing a plurality of iterations of:
- on completion of a preceding UWB session in the UWB session sequence, inspecting the buffer to determine a next UWB session in the UWB session sequence;
- and
- initiating said next UWB session.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium encoded with a computer program comprising program instructions which, when executed by a scheduler, cause the scheduler to perform a method a method of scheduling sessions in an Ultra-wideband (UWB) communications system, the method comprising:
- using a predictive scheduling algorithm to produce a predicted order of appearance of a plurality of UWB sessions in a UWB session sequence;
- storing the predicted order in a buffer;
- and
- performing a plurality of iterations of:
- on completion of a preceding UWB session in the UWB session sequence, inspecting the buffer to determine a next UWB session in the UWB session sequence;
- and
- initiating said next UWB session.
A scheduler operable to schedule sessions in an Ultra-wideband (UWB) communications system, the scheduler including processor-readable instructions stored in a non-transitory storage medium of the UWB communications system, the processor-readable instructions, when executed, cause the processor to perform a method of scheduling comprising by:
- using a predictive scheduling algorithm to produce a predicted order of appearance of a plurality of UWB sessions in a UWB session sequence;
- storing the predicted order in a buffer;
- and
- performing a plurality of iterations of:
- on completion of a preceding UWB session in the UWB session sequence, inspecting the buffer to determine a next UWB session in the UWB session sequence;
- and
- initiating said next UWB session.
