System and method for person or object position location utilizing impulse radio

A method for controlling an ultra wideband (UWB) device, said method comprising the steps of:

• conveying control signals related to a sensed signal from a non-UWB device comprising a sensor that generates the sensed signal across an interface to said UWB device, and
• using said control signals to control said UWB device.

A system comprising:

• an ultra wideband (UWB) device operable to communicate in an UWB spectrum and provide position determination capability,
• a non-UWB device comprising a position determination device that generates a sensed signal, and
• an interface between said non-UWB device and said UWB device, said non-UWB device operable to convey control signals related to the sensed signal across said interface that are used to control said UWB device, the control signals comprising positional information used to augment the position determination capability of the UWB device.
