Abstract

In an ultra-wideband (“UWB”) communication system comprising a pair of UWB transceivers, an asynchronous two-way ranging method for closely estimating the time-of-flight between the transceivers after the exchange of only 3 messages between the transceivers. In an alternate asynchronous two-way ranging method, the time-of-flight between the transceivers may be closely estimated after the exchange of only 4 messages between the transceivers.
