Abstract: A positioning signal sending method and apparatus are provided. A first signal is generated, where duration of a first rising edge of the first signal is less than duration of a first falling edge, the duration of the first rising edge is duration of a rising edge of a main lobe waveform of the first signal, and the duration of the first falling edge is duration of a falling edge of the main lobe waveform of the first signal; and the first signal is sent. In embodiments of this application, rising time of a main lobe waveform of a signal generated is short, and shorter rising time of the main lobe waveform is more conducive to distinguishing two adjacent paths or identifying a first arrival path of a received signal.

Abstract: A beacon transmitter including a wireless transceiver and an electronic controller coupled to the wireless transceiver. The electronic controller is configured to repeatedly transmit, via the wireless transceiver, a first beacon signal through a first number of transmission repetitions spaced at a first repeat interval, and receive an acknowledgement signal via the wireless transceiver. The electronic controller is also configured to stop transmission of the first beacon signal for a first predetermined amount of time based on receipt of the acknowledgement signal, determine that the first predetermined amount of time has expired, and resume repeatedly transmitting, via the wireless transceiver, the first beacon signal in response to determining that the predetermined amount of time has expired.

Abstract: Example systems, devices, media, and methods are described for tracking one or more movable objects and presenting virtual elements on a display in proximity to the tracked movable objects. One or more ultra-wideband (UWB) transmitters are mounted to each movable object in a physical environment including at least two synchronized UWB receivers. The receivers calculate a current location of each movable object. A plurality of portable electronic devices, including one or more eyewear devices, are paired with the receivers in a network. A localization application determines a current location of each eyewear device. A rendering application presents one or more virtual elements on a display as an overlay relative to the current movable object location and in relative proximity to the current eyewear location. The physical environment is represented by a static mesh. A time synchronized tracking application identifies moving items that are not coupled to a UWB transmitter. The rendering application presents the virtual elements on the display in accordance with the static mesh and the moving items.
