PRIORITIZED SCHEDULING FOR UWB RANGING - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240259764 titled 'PRIORITIZED SCHEDULING FOR UWB RANGING
The patent application discusses techniques for scheduling ultra-wideband (UWB) anchors and mobile devices for client ranging. A control device assigns mobile devices to UWB anchors and determines ranging priorities for them based on collision probabilities.
- Control device determines ranging priorities for mobile devices
- Collision mapping identifies collision probabilities between UWB signals of different mobile devices
- Ranging schedule established based on priorities and collision mapping
- Commands sent to perform UWB ranging procedures according to schedule
Potential Applications: - Indoor positioning systems - Asset tracking in warehouses - Location-based services in smart buildings
Problems Solved: - Efficient scheduling of UWB anchors and mobile devices - Minimizing collisions during ranging procedures
Benefits: - Improved accuracy in client ranging - Optimal utilization of UWB technology - Enhanced reliability in indoor positioning systems
Commercial Applications: Title: "Optimized UWB Ranging Scheduling for Indoor Positioning Systems" This technology can be used in industries such as logistics, retail, and healthcare for precise location tracking of assets and personnel, leading to improved operational efficiency and enhanced safety measures.
Questions about UWB Ranging Scheduling: 1. How does this technology improve the accuracy of indoor positioning systems? 2. What are the key factors considered in determining ranging priorities for mobile devices?
Original Abstract Submitted
presented herein are techniques for scheduling ultra-wideband (uwb) anchors and mobile devices for client ranging. a control device can determine respective ranging priorities for a plurality of mobile devices, which are each assigned to at least one uwb anchor. the control device can obtain at least one collision mapping identifying, for a respective pair of the mobile devices, a collision probability that a uwb signal associated with a ranging procedure involving a first mobile device of the respective pair will collide with a uwb signal associated with a ranging procedure involving a second mobile device of the respective pair. the control device can establish a ranging schedule for the mobile devices and uwb anchors based on the respective uwb ranging priorities and the collision mapping(s). the control device can send at least one command to cause uwb ranging procedures to be performed according to the ranging schedule.
