  • High Bandwidth And Low Latency Hybrid Communication Techniques For A Navigation System
    Publication number: 20200129245
    Abstract: Disclosed is a navigation system configured to track an object. The navigation system comprises a tracker configured to couple to the object and a localization device configured to track the tracker. The tracker and the localization device are configured to wirelessly communicate using a first communication method operable on a first spectrum and to wirelessly communicate using a second communication method operable on a second spectrum different from the first spectrum. The localization device utilizes the first communication method to track the tracker and utilizes the first communication method to manage an operating parameter of the tracker with respect to the second communication method.

  • High bandwidth and low latency hybrid communication techniques for a navigation system
    Patent number: 10555781
    Abstract: High bandwidth, low latency hybrid communication techniques are disclosed for a navigation system. The navigation system comprises a tracker configured to couple to the object and a localization device configured to track the tracker. In one embodiment, the localization device is configured to utilize communication on a first spectrum to track the tracker and to manage an operating parameter of the tracker with respect to communication on a second spectrum. In another embodiment, the localization device is configured to utilize communication with a first modulation method to track the tracker and to manage an operating parameter of the tracker and to utilize communication with a second modulation method for receiving sensor data from the tracker.
