Ultra-Wide Band Channel Access-Periodic Reservation - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17951328 titled 'Ultra-Wide Band Channel Access-Periodic Reservation

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a system for coordinating and managing communication channels in an ultra-wide band (UWB) network using an out-of-band (OOB) channel arbitration scheme.

  • The system involves a device periodically transmitting an advertisement packet on an advertisement channel associated with a UWB channel.
  • The advertisement packet contains various information such as UWB transmit start time offset, UWB transmit duration, UWB transmit interval, and UWB transmission type.
  • The UWB channel usage pattern indicated by the advertisement packet helps devices determine when and how to transmit on the UWB channel.
  • The advertisement packet may also include information to determine the UWB transmit interval, allowing devices to synchronize their transmissions.
  • This system enables efficient and coordinated use of the UWB channel, reducing interference and improving overall network performance.


Original Abstract Submitted

Systems, methods, and mechanisms for an out-of-band (OOB) ultra-wide band (UWB) channel arbitration and/or channel coordination scheme. A device may transmit, periodically, an advertisement packet on an advertisement channel associated with a UWB channel. The device may transmit, according to a UWB channel usage pattern indicated by the advertisement packet, on the UWB channel. The advertisement packet may include a UWB transmit start time offset, a UWB transmit duration, a UWB transmit interval, information to determine a UWB transmit interval, and/or a UWB transmission type.
