Abstract
An ultra-wideband (UWB) system of a UWB-enabled device dynamically schedules UWB ranging sessions with multiple asynchronous access control devices. The UWB system creates one ranging session for each access control device and schedules each ranging session with equal priority. During each ranging session, the UWB system receives a ranging message from a corresponding access control device, with the ranging message including a ranging management list (RML) that includes identifiers associated with UWB systems that are within an access control range of the corresponding access control device. The UWB system updates the priority of each ranging session based on presence or absence of the corresponding identifier in the RML of the received ranging message. Further, the UWB system schedules the ranging sessions with the updated priority to dynamically prioritize one access control device, thereby enabling an operation between the UWB system and the corresponding access control device.
