Abstract: In some implementations, a first ultra-wideband (UWB) device may determine a respective time offset for each scrambled timestamp sequence (STS) in a series of STS used for ranging in a UWB ranging session between the first UWB device and the second UWB device, wherein the respective time offset for each STS in the series of STS is determined in accordance with time offset information shared between the first UWB device and the second UWB device. The first UWB device may transmit the series of STS via UWB radio frequency (RF) signals during the UWB ranging session, wherein each STS in the series of STS is transmitted with the respective time offset.

Abstract: In some implementations, a ultra-wideband (UWB) device comprises a Global Anchor for a network of UWB anchors having a plurality of clusters and initiator anchors (Init-Anchors). The Global Anchor may obtain metric information comprising a centrality metric value of each Init-Anchor from information communicated to the Global-Anchor in a first control phase. The Global Anchor may determine a slot schedule for a second control phase, wherein: determining the slot schedule is based on the centrality metric values of the plurality of Init-Anchors; the slot schedule comprises an allocation of time slots of the second control phase among the plurality of Init-Anchors for wireless radio frequency (RF) communication; and the allocation of time slots includes a first set of time slots for upstream communication followed by a second set of time slots for downstream communication. The Global Anchor may send the slot schedule to an Init-Anchor of the plurality of Init-Anchors.
