Achievable rates for UWB peer-to-peer networks

Some achievable information rates for one-dimensional peer-to-peer networks using ultra-wideband signaling are presented. For a simple propagation model and coherent detection, achievable rates with and without interference mitigating techniques are provided showing the influence of node density and communication distance on achievable rates of peer-to-peer links. The model is made more precise by introducing multipath propagation and upper and lower bounds on achievable rates are provided for noncoherent receivers and impulsive flash signaling.
