LEAPS UWBS

LEAPS UWBS is a fully-embedded and advanced UWB Sub-System that covers a wide range of use cases. One UWB Sub-System is configurable in different modes and profiles. The UWBS can run as an Anchor, a Tag or a Gateway. The networking profiles are fully scalable with high capacity and low-power.

LEAPS UWBS Architecture


主要功能

  • Versatility makes it easy to balance the system requirements, costs, deployment time and maintenance complexity. Applications range from simple distance proximity to high-speed tracking or navigation of an unlimited receiver.

  • It integrates a sophisticated UWBMAC that allows adaptive clustering of the infrastructure devices, air-time reuse, slot allocation, etc. A scalable, proven collision detection, collision avoidance and collision resolution allow the system to function robustly in complex environments.

  • 支持的测量技术包括 TWR、DL-TDoA 和 UL-TDoA. 集成的定位引擎允许设备在导航模式下使用DL-TDoA或TWR独立运行.

  • Superior power management provides a long battery lifetime for both TWR and TDoA modes.


使用术语

  • Anchor: Has fixed location.

  • Tag: Changes location, determines position dynamically with the help of anchors.

  • Gateway: Provides stateful information about network nodes (read/introspect), caches node information, might even collect data and track history, provides means for the application layer to interact with UWB network elements (a.k.a. interaction proxy).

  • Node: Network node (anchor, tag, gateway, …).

  • LE: Location engine.

  • CORE_INT: GPIO pin reserved by firmware to inform users about new UART/SPI interface events.

  • TLV: Type-Length-Value encoding.

  • UWBS UWB sub-system.
