Method for Locating Mobile Devices in a UWB Localizing Network

Method for locating mobile devices in a UWB localizing network, wherein the network is divided into clusters (C) and each cluster (C) has a plurality of network nodes (N) such that the network nodes (N) form a meshed network, wherein the network nodes (N) arranged in a cluster (C) synchronize by means of synchronization messages with an STS field and a data field within a cluster (C) in the ultra wideband (UWB) by transmitting and receiving, wherein the position of the network nodes (N) in the UWB localizing network is known, characterized in that

• the network nodes (N) of a cluster (C) generate a cluster position from the positions of the individual network nodes (N) in such a way that
• the cluster position for all network nodes (N) of the cluster (C) is used as an input variable for generating the STS field used in the synchronization message and in that
• a rough locating of the mobile device (M) is carried out by the accessibility of network nodes (N) located in a cluster (C) and the reception of transmitted synchronization messages and the evaluation of the known position data of the network nodes (N) contained in the synchronization message.

• the mobile device and the network nodes (N) networked in a cluster (C) are operated with the same STS parameters and the exact positioning is carried out by recording and evaluating time information of spatially close network nodes (N), wherein the time measurement between the mobile device (M) and the network nodes (N) is carried out via the STS field.
