The European funded project U.C.A.N. (Ultra wide- band Concepts for Ad-hoc Networks) is in the process of designing and implementing an Ultra Wide Band (UWB) Impulse Radio (IR) single band communication system. This paper presents the MAC and routing protocols which are currently developed in U.C.A.N. project. Application scenarios for UWB systems are presented. The MAC protocol is an adaptation to UWB from the IEEE 802.15.3 draft standard for narrow-band WPANs. It uses the inherent ranging capability of UWB as a basis for advanced relaying and routing. Some MAC implementation issues on the demonstrator are described. Finally routing metrics and algorithm for the future system are detailed.

Abstract
The European funded project U.C.A.N. (Ultra wide- band Concepts for Ad-hoc Networks) is in the process of designing and implementing an Ultra Wide Band (UWB) Impulse Radio (IR) single band communication system. This paper presents the MAC and routing protocols which are currently developed in U.C.A.N. project. Application scenarios for UWB systems are presented. The MAC protocol is an adaptation to UWB from the IEEE 802.15.3 draft standard for narrow-band WPANs. It uses the inherent ranging capability of UWB as a basis for advanced relaying and routing. Some MAC implementation issues on the demonstrator are described. Finally routing metrics and algorithm for the future system are detailed.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
