Key Features of DS-UWB• Based on true Ultra-wideband principles
– Large fractional bandwidth signals in two different bands– Benefits from low fading due to wide bandwidth (>1.5 GHz)
• Best relative performance at high data rates
• An excellent combination of high performance and low complexity for WPAN applications– Support scalability to ultra-low power operation for short range
very high rates using low-complexity implementations – Performance exceeds the Selection Criteria in all aspect– Better performance and lower power than any other proposal
considered by TG3a
• Excellent basis for operation under “gated UWB” rules

DS-UWB Operating Bands
• Each piconet operates in one of two bands– Low band (below U-NII, 3.1 to 4.9 GHz) – Required to implement– High band (optional, above U-NII, 6.2 to 9.7 GHz) – Optional
• Different “personalities”: propagation & bandwidth• Both have ~ 50% fractional bandwidth• Each band supports up to 6 different piconets

DS-UWB: The Best Solution• We have presented a proposal superior to any others
considered by TG3a– Lower complexity– Higher performance– Satisfies all 15.3a applications requirements to 1+ Gbps– Scalable to other application spaces and regulatory
requirements• Multi-Gbps for uncompressed video/transfer applications• Low rate/low complexity applications – many DS-type approaches
are under consideration by TG4a– Compliant with all established regulations & proposed
regulations• Lowest interference effects for other systems• OOB emissions well below any proposed limits• Capability to support other regulatory restrictions

Concerns with the DS-UWB Proposal
• Only four “No” voters submitted comments– Concerns of others have apparently been resolved or they
simply don’t care to participate in the process• Most comments submitted had previously been
addressed– Compliance with unknown regulations, lack of industry
support, etc.– Some were demands over and above TG3a requirements
• “Your Gbps mode doesn’t work well enough for me…”• “I require proof from real demonstrations…”, etc.
• We have demonstrated that DS-UWB meets or exceeds all TG3a requirements and outperforms all other proposals previously considered

FCC Waiver Grant for Frequency Hopping and Gating UWB
• FCC waiver-grant removes transmit power penalty– Old rule forced UWB devices to transmit continuously during
compliance test– But NO UWB device actually transmits continuously
• MB-OFDM hops• DS-UWB and others are gated on and off
– Forcing continuous transmissions artificially penalized all UWB devices• They appeared to be emitting much more power during the test than
they actually do in practice• FCC waiver grant for hopped & gated UWB changes compliance
test – now to be done in “normal mode”– This captures the true power emissions – with no penalty– Allows higher transmitter power
• The waiver-grant is “technology neutral”– The change applies to ALL UWB devices– Applies to both frequency hopping (MB-OFDM) and gated (DS-UWB)
systems

The Long-Term Impact for UWB Technology & TG3a
• Scaling technology and application requirements– Higher rates for new applications
• Bigger files, higher image resolution, more data in less time • PHY needs to go faster
– More devices and applications in the same space • Increased network capacity
– Smaller/lower power/lower cost• How will “Gated UWB” technology enable this scaling
to meet future application requirements?• What fundamental approaches to UWB system
design will be most effective for gated UWB benefits?– Depends on waveform and network characteristics

Understanding the Impact of Gated UWB

versus-range scaling we already use– Any waveform can benefit equally from gated
operation• “You just have to turn it on and off fast, right?”

• New regulations for gating provide system flexibility– Multiple ways to send same data over same range– Each has same total energy emitted into the air, but – Higher data rates allow more total network capacity– Also enables lower power solution for handheld applications
• Gated operation can deliver lower overall power consumption

This Ruling to Allow Gated UWB will Change UWB Forever
• Represents a change in fundamental UWB system design trade-offs• Significant incentive for designers to use lower duty cycle to
increase transmit power– Increases network capacity “for free”– Requires scaling to higher data rates to enable low duty cycle
• All waveforms do not benefit equally from the gated UWB provisions– Requires scaling to higher data rates without loss of efficiency or
performance– There are key system-level issues that need to be examined to
understand gated UWB• DS-UWB is ideally suited to support gated UWB operation and
benefit from the many system-level advantages it can provide

Technology Issues for Gated UWB
• PHY layer issues– Scalability to higher peak-to-average power levels– Both regulatory and implementation aspects
• MAC layer issues– Requires efficient coordination of shared-duty-cycle devices
• System level issues– Scalability to much higher data rates – the “Sweet Spot” for
gated UWB network performance

PHY Layer Issues for Gated UWB• Regulatory requirements to limit peak UWB power
– UWB signals are still limited to the same peak power limits under FCC rules
– Waveforms that have high peak power (e.g. low PRF pulsed signals) will be “peak-limited” and cannot use “gating”
– Exact degree of benefit depends on specific waveform
• Peak-limited waveforms are prevented from “gating”– Example: waveform with only 2 dB of margin to peak limit
• Can only increase peak power by 2 dB before reaching limit
• Only minimal benefit could be obtained from “gating” provisions
• TG must carefully analyze the peak levels needed for any particular waveform

PHY Layer Issues for Gated UWB
• Scalability to higher peak-to-average power levels is critical for efficient implementation– Peak power levels required to generate transmit waveform
are different for different waveforms– Low-PRF pulsed signals (for example) have relatively high
peak levels
• Any waveform that already has high peak requirements could preclude efficient operation as a gated UWB system
• DS-UWB is designed to be a low peak-to-average waveform

DS-UWB: Designed for Low Peak Power
• DS-UWB is designed to be a low peak-to-average waveform– Peak-to-average is close to that of a sine wave at lowest rates (~3 dB)– Peak-to-average power ratio actually scales lower as code lengths get
shorter from L=6 to L=2 to L=1 (as data rates get higher)• Becomes essentially a constant envelope signal
– Would still be low if scaled to 2 Gbps PHY burst rate (e.g. QPSK)
• DS-UWB is ideal for use in a gated UWB system– Minimizes the need to generate high-peak transmit signals – simplifies
implementation– Could support very low duty cycle (& higher Tx power) before reaching FCC
peak power limits– Maximized potential benefit from gated UWB operation
• Other waveforms that use lower pulse rates or high order modulation will have much higher peak-to-average power ratios

MAC Layer Issues for Gated UWB
• Benefits of gated UWB provisions requires efficient coordination of shared-duty-cycle devices
• The 802.15.3a MAC is already designed to provide efficient coordination of devices using TDMA
• Centralized MAC architectures can provide easy solutions for low duty-cycle transmission scheduling
• Overhead of MAC (beacons, acknowledgements, etc) can also benefit from shorter transmission times
• Operation at higher data rates requires careful control of overhead to ensure efficient network performance

Key System Level Issue: Scalability
• Scalability to much higher data rates is essential to realize the benefits of low duty cycle operation
• This is the “Sweet Spot” for gated UWB performance– Allows increased network capacity– Like “creating” free additional spectrum
• Support more applications with little impact to network
– Without sacrificing power efficiency• Higher Eb/No requirements preclude benefits of gating
– Ultimate scalability depends on instantaneous signal bandwidth

The Advantages of Higher Data Rates
• The new provisions for gated UWB systems create an even greater advantage for high rate systems– Before, only applications that needed highest rates at short range
were affected by effectiveness of high rate modes• High speed file transfer, uncompressed video, etc.
– Now, every application can be improved through the use of efficient high rate modes
• Those requiring longer ranges operate at lower duty cycle and send the same data in less time
• As UWB technology matures, systems will be designed to transfer data at highest supported data rates– Maximizes network capacity for supporting more applications– No transmit power penalty – range trade-off is completely changed
• Technologies that do not scale will be left behind or will be limited in their ability to provide the performance

Requirements for Benefits of Gated UWB
• There are fundamental differences between PHY waveforms due to bandwidth and modulation choices – Some will be more effective for gated operation, others will not
• PHY must provide baseline low peak power operation• PHY must scale to higher transmit peak power operation
– Without complex implementation or precluding CMOS
– Without performance degradation due to clipping or non-linearities
• PHY must scale effectively to high data rates (1+ Gbps)– Without increasing peak power levels (QAM or more carriers)
– Without sacrificing modulation power efficiency (e.g. 16-QAM/PSK)
– Without sacrificing frequency diversity and resulting in degraded performance due to multipath fading

Numerous Future Benefits to DS-UWB from Gated UWB Operation – Stay Tuned• Higher network capacity as technology scales
– Support more applications and longer ranges • Better ranging performance
– Using higher SNR improves DLOS path detection• Higher SNR during preamble
– Simplifies acquisition & rake/equalizer training• All the same benefits to DS-UWB for controlling transmit spectrum
using pulse shaping– No TX-RX coordination is required to change band or tone mapping
• Improved performance against narrowband interference– Simple mechanism to increase signal to interference power– Equivalent to using lower data rate with more processing gain
• Scaling to even higher data rates – 2 Gbps or more in low band, even higher in 6-10 GHz band– Limitation is signal bandwidth since transmit power can increase
