Description
Currently, the core.uwb Package only supports DS-TWR with static STS.
I would like to propose a ranging mode without STS. (Static) STS is very important and a vital part in a secure communication, but it surely is not necessary while developing, especially while creating a proof-of-concept not meant for distribution, only made to determinate if the idea is worth to develop further. It also avoids a lot of problems based on the currently implemented, hidden FiRa default parameters as mentioned in different other tickets.
If an STS-free communication is enabled, I am sure a lot people can get some of their ideas to work right away, and so they can get a lot more familiar with a technology vital in a lot of future use-cases, which therefore benefits the android ecosystem.
Also, since a controller profile will be released eventually, will there be support for sending or receiving Blinks for TDAO positioning in the future as well? Especially with the power of modern smartphones an implementation of some kind of downlink-TDOA could open up some very interesting use-cases.
Sincerely,
Nicolas Kohnert
