    Abstract: Technologies directed to data transfer protocols for Ultra-Wideband (UWB) are described. One method includes a UWB radio of a first device receiving first data from an application. The first device sends data to second and third devices, the data identifying a number of data rounds, a duration of each round, a duration of a data slot, a duration of a data block, and a first slot index for the second device and a second slot index for the third device. The first device sends, during a first slot associated with the first slot index, the first data to the second device using the UWB radio. The first device sends, during a second slot associated with the second slot index, the first data to the third device using the UWB radio.

    Abstract: An autonomous mobile device (AMD) moves within a physical space. Various wireless devices with transmitters may be present, such as internet of things (IoT) devices, smartphones, tablets, user devices, and so forth. At different physical locations in the physical space a radio receiver of the AMD receives radio signals sent by transmitters sending data. Data is stored that is indicative of the physical location where the data was acquired, an identifier of the transmitter, and a received signal strength indication (RSSI). Estimated distances, each with respect to a different physical location, are determined based on the received signal strength. A plurality of the estimated distances and associated physical locations are used to determine an estimated location of a transmitter. For example, the estimated transmitter location may be determined as a point where the estimated distances coincide.
