Abstract

A radio communication arrangement including a plurality of transceivers and a distance measurement managing circuit. The distance measurement managing circuit is situated in a communication layer higher than the physical layer, is coupled with the plurality of transceivers, and controls the plurality of transceivers for measuring the distances of the respective plurality of transceivers to a specified position. The distance measurement managing circuit also receives and processes distance measurement values determined by the plurality of transceivers.
