Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G  H

Claim 2:
3. A communication node, comprising:
an ultra-wideband, UWB, communication unit configured to enable UWB communication with a plurality of external communication nodes;
a processing unit configured to perform ranging sessions between the communication node and the external communication nodes, wherein the ranging sessions comprise one or more distance measurements based on messages exchanged between the communication node and the external communication nodes, wherein the messages are exchanged through the UWB communication unit; and
a prioritization unit configured to prioritize the ranging sessions in dependence on at least one previously measured distance between the communication node and the respective external communication nodes, wherein the prioritization unit is configured to compare the previously measured distance against at least one predefined range of distances, and to change the priority of the ranging sessions if the previously measured distance falls within said predefined range.
