In the IEEE 802.15.3 Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol, Simultaneously Operating Piconets (SOPs) are linked by the parent/child (P/C) or parent/neighbor (P/N) configuration, which work on a Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) basis. This provides interference mitigation but the overall throughput is limited because the SOPs share the channel time exclusively. The protocol is not efficient for SOPs if we focus on the combination of interference mitigation and high throughput maintenance. In this paper Public Channel Time Allocation (Public CTA) is proposed, which is able to greatly reduce the inter-piconet interference (IPI) and achieve greater throughput without much loss of link success probability (LSP) in the SOPs. The simulation results based on the SOPs of Direct Sequence Ultra Wideband (DS-UWB) system demonstrate that the proposed scheme effectively supports the coexistence of SOPs, and it can not only significantly improve the overall throughput of SOPs but also maintain high LSP.

This paper describes an ultra-wideband (UWB) antenna that uses a ring resonator concept. The proposed antenna can operate in the entire UWB, and the IEEE 802.11a frequency band can be rejected by inserting a notch stub into the ring resonator. The experiment results indicate that the measured impedance bandwidth of the proposed antenna is 17.5 GHz (2.5 GHz to at least 20 GHz). The proposed UWB antenna has omnidirectional radiation patterns with a gain variation of 3 dBi (1 dBi to 4 dBi).

In this paper, we analyze the performance of ultra wide band (UWB) systems in indoor wireless channel in accordance with the number of pulses per bit at transmit signals and the decision types of receiver. The indoor channel is modeled as the modified Saleh and Valenzuela (SV) model which has been proposed as a UWB channel model by the IEEE group, IEEE 802.15.SG3a. Two types of UWB signals are considered One is the pulse position modulation-time hopping (PPM-TH) signal. And the other is the pulse amplitude modulation-direct sequence (PAM-DS) signal. It is assumed that the receiver is an ideal receiver which can receive all signals of the multipath.

The coexistence among different systems is a major problem in communications. Mutual interference between different systems should be analyzed and mitigated before their deployment. The paper focuses on two aspects that have an impact on the system performance. First, the coexistence analysis, i.e. evaluating the mutual interference. Second aspect is the coexistence techniques, i.e. appropriate system modifications that guarantee the simultaneous use of the spectrum by different technologies. In particular, the coexistence problem is analyzed between ultra-wide bandwidth (UWB) and narrow bandwidth (NB) systems emphasizing the role of spectrum sensing to identify and classify the NB interferers that mostly affect the performance of UWB system. A direct sequence (DS)-time hopping (TH) code design technique is used to mitigate the identified NB interference. Due to the severe effect of Narrowband Interference on UWB communications, we propose an UWB transceiver that utilizes spectrum-sensing techniques together with mitigation techniques. The proposed transceiver improves both the UWB and NB systems performance by adaptively reducing the mutual interference. Detection and avoidance method is used where spectrum is sensed every time duration to detect the NB interferer's frequency location and power avoiding it's effect by using the appropriate mitigation technique. Two scenarios are presented to identify, classify, and mitigate NB interferers.

최근 IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) 802.15.4a TG (Task Group)에서는 저소비, 저전력 뿐만 아니라 다수개의 피코넷이 공존하는 즉, SOPs (simultaneously operating piconets) 환경하에서 거리 인지가 가능하도록 규정하고 있으며 거리인지 (ranging)의 서비스에 따라 Ternary 코드를 이용한 coherent/non-coherent 방안이 표준으로 채택되었다. 그러나 표준안에서 제시된 최소의 펄스 간 간격(Pulse Repetition Interval; PRI)은 채널의 최대 초과 지연 aximum Excess Delay; MED) 보다 좁아 펄스 간 간섭 (Inter-Pulse Interference; IPI) 문제가 발생되어 DS(Direct Sequence) 기반의 추정기법으로는 부정확한 최초 도착 시간(Time Of Arrival; TOA)을 얻게 된다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 IPI을 줄이면서 고정밀 TOA를 추정하기 위한 비주기적 펄스 전송 (non-periodic transmission; NPT) 패턴 기법을 제안한다. 수신단은 저속 무선 개인 영역 네트워크의 모티브를 고려하여 에너지 검출을 이용한 non-coherent 기반의 수신 구조로 구성하였다. TOA 정보는 슬라이딩 상관처리 후 역 탐색 구간 (Search Back Window; SBW)을 두어 오차를 감소시키고 사전 정해진 임계치를 이용하여 얻기 된다. 제안된 펄스 패턴 기법에 대한 성능을 검증하기 위해서 BEE 802.15.4a TG에서 제시한 두 가지 채널 모델을 적용하였고 시뮬레이션 결과로부터 제안된 기법이 다수개의 피코넷이 공존하는 다중 경로 환경에서 일반적인 기법보다 성능이 개선됨을 확인하였다.
