EURASIP Journal on Wireless Communications and Networking
Special Issue on
Ultra-Wideband (UWB) Communication Systems�Technology and Applications
Call for Papers
The opening of unlicensed frequency band between 3.1 GHz and 10.6 GHz (7.5 GHz) for indoor wireless communication systems by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) spurred the development of ultra-wideband (UWB) communications. Several wireless personal area networking (WPAN) products have been demonstrated recently. These products implement one of the two leading proposals to the IEEE 802.15.3a High-Speed WPAN Standards Committee. On the other hand, the IEEE 802.15.4a Standards Committee is focusing on low power, low bit rate applications, emphasizing accurate localization. This flurry of activity has demonstrated the feasibility of high-bit-rate and low-bit-rate/low-power UWB communications. Further improvement in UWB transmission speed and reductions in power consumption and UWB transceiver cost require a comprehensive investigation of UWB communications that simultaneously addresses system issues, analog and digital implementation constraints, and RF circuitry limitations. In the application area, coexistence with other wireless standards plays an important role.
The aim of this special issue is to present recent research in UWB communication systems with emphasis on future applications in wireless communications. Prospective papers should be unpublished and present novel innovative contributions from either a methodological or an application perspective.
Suggested topics include (but are not limited) to:
o UWB channel modeling and measurement o High-bit-rate UWB communications o UWB modulation and multiple access o Synchronization and channel estimation o Pulse shaping and filtering o UWB transceiver design and signal processing o Interference and coexistence o Ultra-low-power UWB transmission o MIMO-UWB o Multiband UWB o Spectral management o UWB wireless networks and related issues o Ranging and positioning o Applications
