Original Abstract Submitted
systems, methods, and computer-readable medium are provided for utilizing a hybrid of ultra-wideband (uwb) and narrowband (nb) signaling to provide more efficient operating range and operating efficiency. for example, a first device may schedule transmission of a packet via a narrowband signal to a second device. the first device may then transmit the packet, whereby the packet conveys synchronization data that is used by the second device to schedule reception of a plurality of fragments, respectively, via an ultra-wideband (uwb) signal. the first device may then schedule and transmit the plurality of segments to the second device via the ultra-wideband signals, each fragment being time-spaced from other fragments of the plurality of fragments by at least a predefined time interval.
