Pilot signal assisted Ultra Wideband medium access control algorithm for Wireless Sensor Networks

Due to low-power transmission and robustness to multipath fading, Ultra Wideband at Physical layer is an ideal platform for WSN applications, but for the effective use: compatibility with MAC Layer is a challenge. In this paper we have proposed a compatible MAC technique, which well fits with the ultra-wideband and works well for in-door WSN-applications. The aim of research is to enhance the Network throughput and reliability by scheduling mechanism. Our algorithm proposes a relatively new concept of Pilot Signal assisted synchronization that uses intelligent scheduling and consumes very low power. The possible application areas are indoor short range dense multipath environments.
