Abstract

Systems and methods of assessing a plausibility of a ranging measurement are provided. In some embodiments, a method of assessing a plausibility of a ranging measurement includes: obtaining the ranging measurement from a remote device; obtaining one or more measurements associated with the ranging measurement; and based on the one or more measurements associated with the ranging measurement, determining the plausibility of the ranging measurement. The embodiments disclosed herein determine the reliability of the measured range and thus enforce the security level of Ultra-WideBand (UWB) transactions to be secured. Some embodiments are based on existing and standardized metrics. Some embodiments include a capability to auto-assess whether it is reliable to estimate the plausibility of the transaction range. In some embodiments, the computations needed are relatively simple and can be performed by relatively simple devices.
