UWB MAC Design Constraints and Considerations
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we consider the possibility of developing an optimal medium access control (MAC) layer for high data rate ultra-wideband (UWB) transmission systems that transmit minimal power. MAC in UWB wireless networks is required to coordinate channel access among competing devices. The unique UWB characteristics offer great challenges and opportunities in effective UWB MAC design. We first study the background of UWB and available MAC protocols that have been used in UWB. Secondly, we explore the constraints on UWB MAC design. Finally we present the considerations that need to be made in designing an optimal UWB MAC protocol. Keywords— Ultra-wideband (UWB); Medium access control (MAC); Low-power consumption Full Text: http://www.ijcsmc.com/docs/papers/December2013/V2I12201380.pdf

Ultra-wideband (UWB) is an appealing transmission technology for short-range, bandwidth demanded wireless communications. With the data rate of several hundred megabits per second, UWB demonstrates great potential in supporting multimedia streams such as high-definition television (HDTV), voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), and console gaming in office or home networks, known as the wireless p...
متن کاملA Novel Framework for Medium Access Control in Ultra-Wideband Ad Hoc Networks
Ultra-wideband (UWB) communication is becoming an important technology for future Wireless Personal Area Networks (WPANs). A critical challenge in UWB system design is that a receiver usually needs tens of micro-seconds or even tens of milliseconds to synchronize with transmitted signals, known as timing acquisition problem. Such a long synchronization time will cause significant overhead, sinc...
متن کاملThe Optimal MAC Layer for Low Power UWB Networks is With Independent Channels and No Power Control
We are interested in the design of a MAC layer for systems that use ultra-wide band (UWB) communication and transmit very little power. We first explore the design space and find, that, for such networks, the optimal MAC should allow concurrent transmissions on as many channels as there are destinations; this is in sharp contrast to the established way of designing MAC protocols. Further, power...
