 +**Note**: TWR-TDMA is now considered obsolete and replaced by the TDoA modes. TDoA will generally have better performance than TWR-TDMA, TWR might still be useful to you though but if you are setting up a single room system TDoA is most likely the way to go.

 TWR-TDMA is currently implemented with time slots of 4ms. Each time slot is used by one tag to range with one anchor. This means that the ranging rate is of //1/(0.004 * 2^TDMA_NSLOTS_BITS)// and the rate of update of the full system is //1/(0.004 * 2^TDMA_NSLOTS_BITS * nAnchors)// where nAnchors is the number of anchors in the system. TWR-TDMA is currently implemented with time slots of 4ms.

-The more timeslots, the less often measurements can be used to estimate the tag position and so the performance of the position estimate will deteriorate. For a great number of tag the [[doc:lps:tdoa|TDoA]] mode is better suited.+The more timeslots per frame, the less often measurements can be used to estimate the tag position and so the performance of the position estimate will deteriorate.
