METHOD AND DEVICE FOR ULTRA-WIDEBAND COMMUNICATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17871214 titled 'METHOD AND DEVICE FOR ULTRA-WIDEBAND COMMUNICATION
Simplified Explanation
Methods and devices for ultra-wideband (UWB) communication are described in this patent application. The innovation involves a first UWB device that generates a discovery message containing information used for discovering the first UWB device. The discovery message is then broadcasted through a narrowband (NB) discovery channel, which is separate from the UWB channel. The UWB channel is one of several possible UWB channels allocated for UWB communication.
- The patent application describes a method for UWB devices to facilitate their discovery.
- A first UWB device generates a discovery message with relevant information.
- The discovery message is broadcasted through a separate narrowband (NB) discovery channel.
- The NB discovery channel is not associated with the UWB channel used for communication.
- The UWB channel is one of multiple candidate UWB channels designated for UWB communication.
Potential Applications
This technology has potential applications in various fields, including:
- Wireless communication systems
- Internet of Things (IoT) devices
- Smart home automation
- Industrial automation and monitoring
- Healthcare and medical devices
Problems Solved
The technology addresses the following problems:
- Efficient discovery of UWB devices in a UWB communication network.
- Separation of the discovery process from the main UWB communication channel.
- Minimizing interference and optimizing communication performance.
- Simplifying the process of identifying and connecting with UWB devices.
Benefits
The technology offers several benefits, such as:
- Improved efficiency and reliability of UWB device discovery.
- Reduced interference between the discovery process and UWB communication.
- Enhanced performance and stability of UWB communication.
- Simplified setup and connection process for UWB devices.
Original Abstract Submitted
Methods and devices are provided for ultra-wideband (UWB) communication. A first UWB device generates a discovery message providing information used for discovery of the first UWB device. The first UWB device broadcasts the discovery message through a narrowband (NB) discovery channel. The NB discovery channel is not associated with a UWB channel. The UWB channel is one of a plurality of candidate UWB channels allocated for the UWB communication.
