In order to eliminate the reliance of ultra-high bandwidth (UWB) standalone transceivers and narrow-band-assisted (NB-assisted) UWB transceivers on BLUETOOTH™ (BLE) usage, an NB radio may be used. The NB radio may be tightly coupled with the UWB radio, for example driven by the same time source, to enable leveraged use of ACP (Acquisition Packet) for discovery, session setup, and maintenance over UWB and/or NB-assisted UWB without the use of BLE. Rules for advertising ACP and scanning for ACP may be defined for two modes of operation. An ad-hoc discovery may be based on external acquisition triggers, while a managed discovery may be based on an ongoing discovery advertisement process. ACPs may thereby be transmitted over UWB and/or NB.
