ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR PERFORMING RANGING THROUGH UWB, AND OPERATION METHOD OF ELECTRONIC DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17918488 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR PERFORMING RANGING THROUGH UWB, AND OPERATION METHOD OF ELECTRONIC DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The present disclosure describes an electronic device and method for performing ranging using ultra-wideband (UWB) communication. The method involves transmitting a ranging control message (RCM) from a first electronic device to control the ranging procedure of a ranging group. The RCM includes time information for receiving a ranging request from a device not participating in the ranging group. The first electronic device then receives a ranging request from a second electronic device based on the time information. It transmits a second RCM to the second electronic device, which includes information about a slot allocated to the second electronic device. Finally, ranging is performed between the first and second electronic devices based on the second RCM.

Original Abstract Submitted
The present disclosure relates to an electronic device for performing ranging by using an ultra-wideband (UWB) communication method, and an operation method of the electronic device. According to an embodiment, an operation method of a first electronic device may include: transmitting, by the first electronic device, a first ranging control message (RCM) including information for controlling a ranging procedure of a ranging group, the first RCM including time information configured for receiving a ranging request from a device not participating in the ranging group; receiving a ranging request from a second electronic device based on the time information; transmitting a second RCM including information about a slot allocated to the second electronic device; and performing ranging with the second electronic device based on the second RCM.
