Presents:
The Physical Layer of WiMedia OFDM UWB
DATE: May 27, 2008
TIME: Noon-1PM
LOCATION: Room 4004, Atkinson Hall, UCSD
9500 Gilman Drive, La Jolla, CA 92093
DESCRIPTION / ABSTRACT:
The WiMedia Ultra-Wideband system uses OFDM, rather than ultra-narrow impulses, to fill up a vast amount of spectrum, more than 500MHz, with high data rate transmissions at short distances, and very low power/ In a nutshell, it is like a high data rate Bluetooth. We will present the physical layer of this standard with some references to the MAC layer. In particular, we will talk about OFDM and sub-carrier layout, packet detection and synchronization, channel estimation, header and payload structures, coding and modulation, phase noise tracking, piconet and super frame structures, etc.
