  2. Motivation Current wireless solutions (IEEE 802.11, Bluetooth…) face many problems: Limited channel capacity High power consumption UWB is an excellent solution for short-range communications. However, it is not intended to replace the above technologies, but coexist with them. 170+ companies have already jumped on the UWB wagon

  3. Why UWB? Advantages: Low-power operation. Low cost. Low probability of detection and low probability of jamming capabilities. Low interference levels to existing services. Ability to penetrate walls, etc. Availability of precise location information.

  4. UWB: What is it? • Available bandwidth • FCC allocates 7,500 MHz in the 3.1 to 10.6 GHz band. • Any signal that: • Occupies at least 500MHz of BW, or • More than 25% of a center frequency:

  5. UWB Applications • Stream DVD content to HDTVs simultaneously. • Wirelessly synchronize appliance clocks. • Connect high-data rate peripherals. • Move huge files between digital cameras, camcorders, and computers. • Military applications (radars, penetrate walls..)

  6. PHY: Single-Band and Multi-Band Single-Band Implementation One pulse occupies the whole BW at a time. Multi-Band Implementation The 7.5GHz are divided into multiple bands. Information is independently encoded in the different bands. The lower limit of 500MHz, as well as the transmission power restrictions, must be maintained. Other possibilities OFDM, MC-CDMA (for future).

  7. Why prefer Multi-Band ? The delay spread of the wireless channel, unless combated, restricts the achievable rate. Adaptive band selection Avoids interference Low complexity Small transceiver cost Simultaneous transmissions in the different bands

  8. Tf Tc Time Hopping • Time Hopping has been mostly proposed so far, to alleviate pulse collisions. • Pulses are transmitted according to a Time Hopping Sequence (THS) • The THS is known by both the transmitter and the receiver • Receiver-based: The receiver's THS is followed • Transmitter-based: The transmitter's THS is followed THS1: 0, 3, 2, 6 0 12 3 4 5 6 7 0 12 3 4 5 6 7 0 12 3 4 5 6 7 0 12 3 4 5 6 7 THS2: 4, 6, 3, 3

  9. Our current MAC scheme • Advantages • Increased channel capacity • No need for Time Hopping • All the multi-band advantages, discussed earlier, over a potential single-band implementation • Ad hoc communications are enabled

  10. Tc frame Multi-band Single-band Pulse width time Our current MAC scheme • Increased channel capacity • Each band is capable of achieving the same capacity as that of a single-band system, due to the delay spread effect • No need for Time Hopping • A band is exclusively dedicated to a pair of nodes • Pulses are now being transmitted consecutively
