Abstract
The systems and methods described herein may involve establishing a connection between a first device and a second device. The connection may include a data channel for data traffic and control channel for control traffic. The first device may transmit a management frame to the second device. The second device may validate the management frame, and may transmit data according to the management frame, which may include transmitting control traffic on the data channel responsive to one or more metrics for the data channel satisfying a threshold criteria for the control channel.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- establishing, by a first device comprising a first ultra-wideband (UWB) antenna, a connection with a second device having a second UWB antenna;
- determining, by the first device, a first range between the first device and the second device, according to one or more UWB measurements between the first UWB antenna of the first device and the second UWB antenna of the second device;
- generating, by the first device, a management frame for the connection between the first device and the second device, the management frame including one or more parameters for managing the connection, and a sequence corresponding to the range between the first device and the second device;
- and
- transmitting, by the first device, the management frame to the second device, to cause the second device to validate the management frame based on a second range between the second device and the first device using the sequence.
A method comprising:
- establishing, by a first device comprising a first ultra-wideband (UWB) antenna, a connection with a second device having a second UWB antenna, the connection comprising a data channel for data traffic and a control channel for control traffic;
- determining, by the first device, one or more metrics for the data channel;
- and
- transmitting, by the first device, a packet to the second device on the data channel responsive to the one or more first metrics satisfying a threshold criteria for the control channel, the packet including data traffic and control traffic.
A method comprising:
- establishing, by a first device comprising a first ultra-wideband (UWB) antenna, a connection with a second device having a second UWB antenna;
- receiving, by the first device from the second device, a management frame for the connection between the first device and the second device, the management frame including one or more parameters for the connection, and a sequence corresponding to a first range between the first device and the second device;
- determining, by the first device, a second range between the first device and the second device, based on one or more UWB measurements between the first UWB antenna of the first device and the second UWB antenna of the second device;
- validating, by the first device, the management frame received from the first device, according to the sequence and the second range;
- and
- transmitting, by the first device, traffic between the first device and the second device according to the management frame, responsive to validating the management frame.
