Samsung has found a way to improve the sound quality of wireless headphones. This is not about innovative speaker design or other hardware changes. Instead, the South Korean company wants to replace Bluetooth with a more advanced data transfer method.
According to a new patent, Samsung intends to use Bluetooth only for the initial connection of headphones to a smartphone or other device. After that, a connection should be established between them using UWB (Ultra-Wide Band) technology. Then the Bluetooth connection is disconnected, and only the UWB connection remains, which serves for data transmission.
Ultra-Wide Band has a number of advantages over Bluetooth. One of the main – high bandwidth for transmitting large amounts of data. In addition, this technology is more resistant to interference, very energy-efficient and can work in parallel with other wireless protocols.
It is worth noting that modern smartphones from Samsung, Google and Apple are equipped with a UWB chip, so the idea of connecting headphones using this protocol is quite feasible.
