Methods and systems for scheduling ranging and data sessions in a short-range communication system

A short-range communication system comprising:

• at least one controlee;
• and
• at least one controller coupled with the at least one controlee, wherein a controller is configured to:
• receive a request from the at least one controlee to schedule at least one session for at least one service of a plurality of services, wherein the at least one session includes at least one of a ranging session and a data session;
• assign priority parameters to the at least one service for the at least one session;
• and
• schedule the at least one session among the controller and the at least one controlee for the at least one service, based on the assigned priority parameters.

A method for scheduling at least one ranging session in a short-range communication system, the method comprising:

• creating, by a controller, a group of controllers by including at least one other controller;
• determining, by the controller, Quality of Service(QoS) parameters of each of a plurality of services supported by each controller in the group of controllers;
• and
• scheduling, by the controller, the at least one ranging session for each controller in the group of controllers for each of the plurality of services, based on the determined QoS parameters of each service.

A short-range communication system comprising:

• a plurality of controllers, wherein a controller of the plurality of controllers is configured to:
• create a group of controllers by including at least one other controller;
• determine Quality of Service(QoS) parameters of each of a plurality of services supported by each controller in the group of controllers;
• and
• schedule at least one ranging session for each controller in the group of controllers for each of the plurality of services, based on the determined QoS parameters of each service.
