The EUWB open technology platforms for Ultra Wide band communications

In this paper, the EUWB approach to open technology platforms for Ultra-Wideband (UWB) communications is sketched. Both, Low Data Rate (LDR) and High Data Rate (HDR) UWB solutions are considered. Also, a potential combination of both platforms is taken into account. The LDR platform is based on the...

Summary:In this paper, the EUWB approach to open technology platforms for Ultra-Wideband (UWB) communications is sketched. Both, Low Data Rate (LDR) and High Data Rate (HDR) UWB solutions are considered. Also, a potential combination of both platforms is taken into account. The LDR platform is based on the outcomes of the FP6 Project PULSRES II. The HDR platform is compliant with the ECMA 368/369 standard, and can well support date rates ranging from 53Mbps to 480Mbps in short range communication scenarios. Different applications and research areas, for which the open technology platforms are tailored, are reported. It is illustrated that the open technology platform has a lot of flexibility in software development. The API functions allow TCP/IP based application programming and the transparent access to lower level functionalities. This work was supported partly by EUWB project under Grant Agreement FP7-ICT-215669.
