Comparison between IEEE 802.11 Module and UWB Multipath Channel Module IEEE 802.15.3a

The paper documents a comparison between IEEE indoor, multipath channel which adopted by IEEE802.11 and IEEE 802.15.3a ultra-wideband (UWB) channel model for high speed, short range wireless communication. We choose single carrier with frequency domain equalization (SC/FDE) rather than OFDM as the comparison environment. The common basis between the two systems is frequency domain equalization, therefore both systems benefit from low complex equalization process at the receiver and the comparison that provides insight to their performance by means of simulation is relatively fair.
