Description
Dominik Müller and co-authors split wearable motion tracking into two layers so it can scale to whole teams. Ultra-wideband radios locate tags well, but dozens of players ranging at once jam each other. Their 2026 paper gives field-level positioning and on-body pose tracking separate radio regimes, each with its own reuse rules.
A stochastic geometry model maps player density, field size, tag counts, and update rates to reliability. Bench tests of ranging under overlap and delay tune the model's numbers. A proximity-aware plan then coordinates nearby tags so they take turns cleanly. Soccer, volleyball, and ice hockey serve as test cases. Sports technology teams get a design path from one instrumented athlete to a full squad.
