Abstract

An operation method of an electronic device for transmitting and receiving data through an ultra wideband (UWB) in a wireless communication system includes: transmitting, to another electronic device, a first ranging control message; transmitting, to the other electronic device, a ranging start message based on the first ranging control message; and receiving, from the other electronic device, a ranging response message based on the first ranging control message.

Claims (51)

1. An operation method of a first electronic device for transmitting and receiving data through an ultra wideband (UWB) in a wireless communication system, the operation method comprising:

transmitting, to a second electronic device through the UWB, a first ranging control message, wherein the first ranging control message comprises information related to a time interval from a time point when the first ranging control message is transmitted to a time point when a second ranging control message, different from the first ranging control message, is transmitted;

transmitting, to the second electronic device through the UWB, a ranging start message based on the first ranging control message; and

receiving, from the second electronic device through the UWB, a ranging response message based on the first ranging control message,

wherein each of the first ranging control message and the second ranging control message comprises:

information related to a cast mode indicating that ranging following a corresponding ranging control message is a unicast mode or a multicast mode; and

information related to a ranging operation mode indicating that the ranging following the corresponding ranging control message is a single-sided two-way ranging (SS-TWR) mode or a double-sided two-way (DS-TWR) mode.

2. The operation method of claim 1 , wherein the first ranging control message further comprises:

information related to a slot length; and

information related to a round length.

3. The operation method of claim 1 , further comprising, when the cast mode is the multicast mode and the ranging operation mode is the SS-TWR mode, receiving reply time information about a time interval from a time point when the second electronic device receives the ranging start message from the first electronic device to a time point when the second electronic device transmits the ranging response message to the first electronic device.

4. The operation method of claim 1 , wherein, when the ranging operation mode is the SS-TWR mode, the ranging response message comprises:

information related to a request to transmit a TX-to-RX roundtrip time; and

information related to a request to transmit a Ranging Result.

5. The operation method of claim 1 , wherein, when the ranging operation mode is the DS-TWR mode, the ranging response message comprises:

information related to a request to transmit reply time information;

information related to a request to transmit a TX-to-RX roundtrip time information; and

information related to a request to transmit a Ranging Result.

6. The operation method of claim 4 , further comprising reporting, to the second electronic device, a roundtrip time from the first electronic device to the second electronic device.

7. The operation method of claim 5 , further comprising receiving a report about a reception (RX)-to-transmission (TX) reply time information of the second electronic device and a TX-to-RX roundtrip time information of the second electronic device.

8. The operation method of claim 1 , wherein the first ranging control message further comprises information related to which of the first electronic device or the second electronic device is to transmit the ranging start message.

9. A first electronic device for transmitting and receiving data through an ultra wideband (UWB) in a wireless communication system, the first electronic device comprising:

at least one transceiver;

at least one memory storing a program; and

at least one processor configured to execute the program to:

transmit, through the UWB to a second electronic device via the at least one transceiver, a first ranging control message, wherein the first ranging control message comprises information related to a time interval from a time point when the first ranging control message is transmitted to a time point when a second ranging control message, different from the first ranging control message, is transmitted;

transmit, through the UWB to the second electronic device via the at least one transceiver, a ranging start message based on the first ranging control message; and

receive, through the UWB from the second electronic device via the at least one transceiver, a ranging response message based on the first ranging control message,

wherein each of the first ranging control message and the second ranging control message comprises:

information related to a cast mode indicating that ranging following a corresponding ranging control message is a unicast mode, or a multicast mode; and

information related to a ranging operation mode indicating that the ranging following the corresponding ranging control message is a single-sided two-way ranging (SS-TWR) mode or a double-sided two-way (DS-TWR) mode.

10. The first electronic device of claim 9 , wherein the first ranging control message further comprises:

information related to a slot length; and

information related to a round length.

11. The first electronic device of claim 9 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to execute the program to, when the cast mode is the broadcast mode and the ranging operation mode is the SS-TWR mode, receive via the transceiver, reply time information about a time interval from a time point when the second electronic device receives the ranging start message from the first electronic device to a time point when the second electronic device transmits the ranging response message to the first electronic device.

12. The first electronic device of claim 9 , wherein, when the ranging operation mode is the SS-TWR mode, the ranging response message comprises:

information related to a request to transmit a TX-to-RX roundtrip time; and

information related to a request to transmit a Ranging Result.

13. The first electronic device of claim 9 , wherein, when the ranging operation mode is the DS-TWR mode, the ranging response message comprises:

information related to a request to transmit reply time information

information related to a request to transmit a TX-to-RX roundtrip time information; and

information related to a request to transmit a Ranging Result.

14. The first electronic device of claim 12 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to execute the program to report, to the second electronic device via the at least one transceiver, a roundtrip time from the first electronic device to the second electronic device.

15. The first electronic device of claim 13 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to execute the program to receive a report about a reception (RX)-to-transmission (TX) reply time information of the second electronic device and a TX-to-RX roundtrip time information of the second electronic device.

16. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having recorded thereon instructions executable by at least one processor of a first electronic device to cause the at least one processor to perform an operation method for transmitting and receiving data through an ultra wideband (UWB) in a wireless communication system, the operation method comprising:

transmitting, to a second electronic device through the UWB, a first ranging control message, wherein the first ranging control message comprises information related to a time interval from a time point when the first ranging control message is transmitted to a time point when a second ranging control message, different from the first ranging control message, is transmitted;

transmitting, to the second electronic device through the UWB, a ranging start message based on the first ranging control message; and

receiving, from the second electronic device through the UWB, a ranging response message based on the first ranging control message,

wherein each of the first ranging control message and the second ranging control message comprises:

information related to a cast mode indicating that ranging, following a corresponding ranging control message is a unicast mode, or a multicast mode; and

information related to whether a ranging operation mode indicating that the ranging following the corresponding ranging control message is a single-sided two-way ranging (SS-TWR) mode or a double-sided two-way (DS-TWR) mode.
