{
A new generation of ultra wideband (UWB) communication
transceivers are becoming available which support both positioning and
communication tasks. Transceiver manufacturers envision that communication
and positioning features are used separately. We believe that
this is an unnecessary restriction of the available hardware and that
positioning and communication tasks can be active concurrently. This paper
presents and investigates a medium access control (MAC) protocol
which combines communication and positioning functions. Our experiments
show that the existing data communication of a network can be
exploited to gather position information eficiently.
