Abstract
In accordance with a first aspect of the present disclosure, an ultra-wideband (UWB) communication device is provided, comprising: a transmitting unit configured to initiate a device detection session by transmitting a pre-discovery message and to transmit, during the device detection session, at least one discovery message in order to discover one or more external devices; a receiving unit configured to receive, during the device detection session, one or more responses to the discovery message, wherein the responses have been transmitted by the external devices. In accordance with a second aspect of the present disclosure, a corresponding method of operating a UWB communication device is conceived.

An ultra-wideband (UWB) communication device comprising:
- a transmitting unit configured to initiate a device detection session by transmitting a pre-discovery message and to transmit, during the device detection session, at least one discovery message to discover one or more external devices;
- and
- a receiving unit configured to receive, during the device detection session, one or more responses to the discovery message, wherein the responses have been transmitted by the external devices.
A road safety system comprising an ultra-wideband (UWB) communication device and one or more external devices, the UWB communication device comprises:
- a transmitting unit configured to initiate a device detection session by transmitting a pre-discovery message and to transmit, during the device detection session, at least one discovery message in order to discover the external devices;
- and
- a receiving unit configured to receive, during the device detection session, one or more responses to the discovery message, wherein the responses have been transmitted by the external devices.
A method of operating an ultra-wideband (UWB) communication device, the method comprising:
- initiating, by a transmitting unit included in the UWB communication device, a device detection session by transmitting a pre-discovery message and transmitting, during the device detection session, at least one discovery message to discover one or more external devices;
- and
- receiving, by a receiving unit included in the UWB communication device, during the device detection session, one or more responses to the discovery message, wherein the responses have been transmitted by the external devices.
