API Summary

Provides UWB (Ultra Wideband) service for wireless connectivity based on IEEE 802.15.4a/z. This service connects to Luna bus to interact with other system components (e.g. apps, services) that require UWB services.

Overview of the API

This service must be used when an application needs to get UWB's positioning information (ex. ranging and angle-of-arrival).

This service provides a group of payload data-specific utilities:

Common - common/generic data for standard protocol
LgeAirCond - LGE's AirConditioner-specific data
LgeAutom - LGE's Automotive-specific data
LgeTv - LGE's Tv-specific data
ToBeExtensiable - Other vendor-specific data (if needed)
