1. A method comprising:
determining, by a first ultra-wideband (UWB) device, a transmission block comprising a plurality of rounds each representing a period of time;
performing, by the first UWB device, a first wireless communication to perform ranging between the first UWB device and a second UWB device, within a first round of the plurality of rounds, the first round of the plurality of rounds comprising a plurality of slots; and
performing, by the first UWB device, a second wireless communication to communicate data between the first UWB device and the second UWB device within the first round, the first wireless communication performed in a first slot of the plurality of slots, and the second wireless communication performed in at least one of the first slot or a second slot of the plurality of slots.
