The Research of UWB Ad-Hoc Industrial Network

With the success of wireless technologies, standard wireless technologies are envisioned for the deployment in industrial environments as well. The ultra-wideband (UWB) radio is focused on more deeply for its advantages. Compared with the conventional wireless communication technology, UWB has its unique characteristics such as wider band, higher speed rate, lower power spectrum density (PSD) and stronger antijamming etc. The frameworks of network are described for UWB ad-hoc industrial network. A position based routing strategy is presented. The new routing strategy utilizes an act of orientation of UWB and tries to get sufficient route information to set up a dynamic routing list. The validity of the strategy is presented by simulation. The results show that the routing strategy can decrease the network loading caused by route discovery. The performance of new routing strategy is better than dynamic source routing (DSR).
