In a release, Research and Markets noted that report highlights include:
Technology of Choice for Wireless USB and Bluetooth
The book will consist of the following chapters: Introduction, Worldwide Regulations, Physical layer, Medium Access Control Layer, Protocol Adaptation layer, Applications. The PHY chapter describes WiMedias PHY specification and puts it into context relative to the operation of a practical Radio/Modem. As part of this chapter, the concept of ranging using UWB is introduced. The MAC chapter builds upon the PHY chapter in developing the understanding of the reader of the basic operation and control of the UWB transceiver. It then delves into the sophisticated protocols of the MAC (Medium Access Control) layer and lays them out in a very easy to follow format. As the MAC layer of the WiMedia UWB is one of the first true peer-to-peer ad hoc multi-hop protocols, it is highly complicated; it is the goal of this chapter to untangle the specifications in an easy-to-follow and intuitive way, adding justifications and practical insights. Ranging and Security features are also introduced in this chapter.
Within WiMedia there has been an attempt to create a convergence layer within the MAC layer so as to allow multiple Link Layers and Network protocols to coexist peacefully and equitably over the same MAC and PHY. The MAC chapter will introduce the MAC policies that enable such convergence at the layers above. Although this book is dedicated only to the PHY and MAC layers of WiMedia, a brief treatment of the Adaptation Layers (PALs) that sit on top of MAC layer is given. The three most expected PALs are Wireless USB, WiNet, Bluetooth, but Wireless 1394 will also be covered.
UWB (ultra-wideband) has been investigated for many decades but only recently has it become commercially viable. With the advent of WiMedia UWB technology and its associated standard specifications, the stage is set for the next generation of WPAN applications to take root.
WiMedia UWB focuses on the ECMA-368 standard. Both PHY layer and MAC sublayers specified in this standard are explained in great detail. The book offers not only the facts about the requirements of the standard, but also the motivation and logic behind them. To give a comprehensive perspective of the UWB technology to the reader, other interrelated topics are also examined in this book. These include the history of UWB and its recent standardization attempts; UWB applications and advantages; UWB spectrum allocation and regulations around the world; UWB platform clients: Certified Wireless USB (CW-USB), Bluetooth, and WLP (WiMedia Link layer Protocol, which enables Internet Protocol over UWB); as well as some important implementation issues and considerations. As the first application of WiMedia UWB, CW-USB is given a special and more comprehensive treatment. This book is ideal for any engineer or engineering managers who are expecting to either develop a solution based on UWB or to integrate it with other devices. It will also be of interest to researchers who require an overview or an interpretation of the technology.
One of the first books to describe the WiMedia standards (PHY and MAC) in detail. A comprehensive approach to de-obfuscating the entire WiMedia UWB technology, from the PHY through the MAC, the MAC clients, the applications, and the regulations
Includes a description of the CW-USB standard and its relation to WiMedia MAC Provides an up-to-date view of the UWB spectrum allocations and associated regulations around the world
