Abstract
Ultra-wideband (UWB) radar and ranging sessions is performed. Responsive to one or more mobile devices being detected within the vehicle, an inside schedule mode is activated with an inside scheduling of UWB radar sessions and UWB ranging sessions for UWB anchors of the vehicle. Responsive to the vehicle entering a key-off state, and no mobile devices being detected within the vehicle, an outside schedule mode is activated with an outside scheduling of UWB radar sessions and UWB ranging sessions for the UWB anchors of the vehicle. In the inside schedule mode, the UWB anchors perform localization within the vehicle and moving object detection outside the vehicle. In the outside schedule mode, the UWB anchors perform localization of the one or more mobile devices outside the vehicle and moving object detection and/or localization inside and/or outside the vehicle.
