Distributed Cooperative Data Transfer for UWB Adhoc Network

In this conference paper we address the problem of distributed cooperative data transfer for ultra wide band (UWB) ad-hoc networks: (1) we propose three improving techniques that can utilize some available but not-yet-utilized additional resources to improve the sub-optimal but widely adopted autocorrelation differential detection for the widely used pulse-based UWB data transfer; (2) we devise three cooperative transmission strategies, and discuss the necessary information needed for distributed implementations and how it may be obtained via proposed transmission protocols. Simulation studies confirm the effectiveness of the proposed techniques and schemes.
