Abstract
The existing UWB standard based on OFDM developed by the WIMEDIA
industrial consortium can support data rates up to 480 MBit/s for a distance
of up to 2m. The initial focus and key application driver of the WIMEDIA
standard implementation will be the replacement of USB 2 cables in PC
peripherals using the certified wireless USB protocol. Typical usage scenarios
for this implementation will be the connection of a PC to hard disk drives,
digital cameras, printers, etc.
For future deployments of UWB technologies in multimedia and network centric
consumer electronics applications higher data rates are needed. The goal of
work package WP2a in the PULSERS II project is the definition and evaluation
of an air interface and the corresponding building blocks that can provide
data rates in the range 3GBit/s over a distance of around 2m. In order to
achieve this goal the OFDM based air interface of the WIMEDIA system will be
upgraded in an evolutionary manner with strong considerations for the backward
compatibility of the future devices.
This paper will give an overview of the state of the definition of this
enhanced air-interface developed in the PULSERS II project. The concepts and
the evaluation results coming out of this activity should be used as an input
to the future standardization activities in the WIMEDIA group starting in 2007
with an initial step towards a 1Gbit/s enhancement of the air interface.
