Abstract: An apparatus configured to generate, for transmission to a wireless communication device, a request to initiate a ranging operation, process a response indicating that the apparatus is to locate the wireless communication device, generate first ranging data, process second ranging data, determine a direction of the wireless communication device relative to the apparatus based on at least the first ranging data and the second ranging data, wherein the direction is based on a spherical coordinate system including a radial distance, an azimuthal angle, and a polar angle and generate, for display on a display device, a graphic based on at least the determined direction of the wireless communication device relative to the apparatus, the graphic indicating a three dimensional direction of the wireless communication device relative to the apparatus.

Abstract: An apparatus configured to initiate an operation to locate a target device, determine one or more metrics related to Bluetooth congestion, determine transmission parameters for a Bluetooth discovery operation based on the one or more metrics, generate, for transmission, Bluetooth discovery signals with the determined transmission parameters and trigger an ultra-wideband (UWB) ranging operation when a Bluetooth discovery response from the target device is detected.

Abstract: An apparatus configured to initiate an operation to locate a target device, generate, for transmission to the target device, Bluetooth discovery signals for detecting a proximity of the target device, generate, for transmission to the target device at substantially a same time as the Bluetooth discovery signals, a discovery message via a network connection, detect a Bluetooth discovery response or a response to the discovery message from the target device and trigger an ultra-wideband (UWB) ranging operation based on detection of the Bluetooth discovery response or response to the discovery message.
