Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A base station includes a millimeter wave communication unit coupled to an impulse radio ultra-wideband (IR-UWB) communication unit. The millimeter wave communication unit is capable of being wirelessly coupled to user-equipment using a millimeter wave communication link. Based on a determination as to whether the user-equipment is configured for IR-UWB ranging and localization, an IR-UWB communication link is established between the base station and user-equipment for IR-UWB ranging and localization. When the IR-UWB communication link is established for IR-UWB ranging and localization, the ranging and localization associated with the millimeter wave communication unit is disabled and the millimeter wave communication link is used for data communication maximizing throughput by utilizing localization and ranging information provided by the IR-UWB communication link.
