Abstract: An ultra-wideband (UWB) ranging method comprises determining, by a first device, that the first device is within proximity of a second device. Responsive to the determination, the first device negotiates a value to use as a UWB session key for securing UWB communications with the second device. The negotiation occurs via a communication protocol different from a UWB communication protocol. The first device controls a UWB subsystem therein to encrypt information communicated via the UWB subsystem based on the negotiated value of the UWB session key instead of a default value for the UWB session key that is specified in the UWB communication protocol. The information facilitates determining the distance between the first device and the second device.

Abstract: A first user equipment (UE) is configured to establish a first tethered connection with a second UE 104 and a second tethered connection with at least a third UE. The first UE identifies a plurality of network slices provided by a network. The first UE selects at least a first network slice for the second UE and selects at least a second network slice for the at least third UE. The first UE wirelessly communicates data for the second UE over the at least first network slice using a first upstream link. The first UE wirelessly communicates data for the at least third UE over the at least second network slice using a second upstream link. The first upstream link and the second upstream link are concurrently maintained.
