Abstract: In accordance with a first aspect of the present disclosure, a communication device is provided, comprising: an ultra-wideband (UWB) communication unit configured to enable UWB communication with at least one external communication device; a processing unit configured to perform a ranging session between the communication device and the external communication device, wherein said ranging session comprises one or more distance measurements based on messages exchanged between the communication device and the external communication device, wherein said messages are exchanged through the UWB communication unit; a prioritization unit configured to prioritize said ranging session using a synchronization indicator associated with said ranging session. In accordance with a second aspect of the present disclosure, a corresponding method of operating a communication device is conceived. In accordance with a third aspect of the present disclosure, a computer program is provided for carrying out said method.

Abstract: A method is described synchronization in a communication system which comprises a master anchor device, a first anchor device, and a second anchor device. The method comprises: i) transmitting, by the master anchor device, a first message to the first anchor device and to the second anchor device using a first ultra-wide band (UWB) communication, wherein the first message is indicative of a master clock of the master anchor device receiving, by the first anchor device, the first message, and synchronizing a first clock of the first anchor device based on the master clock, and iii) receiving, by the second anchor device, the first message, and synchronizing a second clock of the second anchor device based on the master clock. Furthermore, a communication system and a use of UWB communication is described.
