Systems, apparatus and methods for variable rate ultra-wideband communications
First Claim
1. A radio frequency (RF) tag, comprising:
- a motion sensor configured to generate one or more motion data values indicating motion of the RF tag, wherein the RF tag is configured to be carried by a participant having a role;
an ultra-wideband (UWB) transmitter configured to transmit blink data at a first blink rate or a second blink rate, wherein the first blink rate is different than the second blink rate; and
processing circuitry configured to;
receive the one or more motion data values from the motion sensor;
obtain role data indicative of the role of the participant; and
control the UWB transmitter to wirelessly transmit the blink data at the first blink rate or the second blink rate based on the one or more motion data values and the role data.

Abstract
Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer readable media are disclosed for providing variable blink rate ultra-wideband (UWB) communications. Some embodiments may provide for a radio frequency (RF) tag including a motion sensor, processing circuitry, and a UWB transmitter. The motion sensor may be configured to generate one or more motion data values indicating motion of the RF tag. The UWB transmitter may be configured to transmit blink data at variable blink rates. The processing circuitry may be configured to receive the one or more motion data values from the motion sensor, determine a blink rate for the UWB transmitter based on the one or more motion data values, and control the UWB transmitter to wirelessly transmit the blink data at the blink rate. In some embodiments, the RF tag may include a UWB receiver and the blink rate may be controlled remotely by a system.
