Abstract
An apparatus for prioritizing a set of different UWB sessions for performing UWB ranging procedures for a corresponding set of different devices in and/or on a vehicle is described. The apparatus is configured to determine that there is a conflict between the set of different UWB sessions for a particular time interval. The apparatus is further configured to prioritize the different UWB sessions of the set of UWB sessions in relation to the conflict based on one or more prioritization criteria.
Claims16
An apparatus that prioritizes a set of different UWB sessions for performing UWB ranging procedures for a corresponding set of different devices in or on a vehicle, wherein the apparatus is configured to:
- determine that there is a conflict between the set of different UWB sessions for a particular time interval;
- and
- prioritize the different UWB sessions of the set of different UWB sessions in relation to the conflict based on one or more prioritization criteria;
- wherein the one or more prioritization criteria depend on:
- a function priority of a remote-controlled vehicle function of the vehicle, for which a UWB session from the set of different UWB sessions is used,
- a state of temporal synchronization of the different UWB sessions of the set of different UWB sessions, or
- reception time windows for receiving a UWB packet from one or more UWB sessions of the set of different UWB sessions.
A method for prioritizing a set of different UWB sessions for performing UWB ranging procedures for a corresponding set of different devices in or on a vehicle, the method comprising:
- determining that there is a conflict between the set of different UWB sessions for a particular time interval;
- and
- prioritizing the different UWB sessions of the set of UWB sessions in relation to the conflict based on one or more prioritization criteria;
- wherein the one or more prioritization criteria depend on:
- a function priority of a remote-controlled vehicle function of the vehicle, for which a UWB session from the set of UWB sessions is used;
- a state of temporal synchronization of the different UWB sessions of the set of UWB sessions;
- or
- reception time windows for receiving a UWB packet from one or more UWB sessions of the set of UWB sessions.
