Based on the observation that the correlation between observed traffic at two measurement points or traffic stations may be time-varying, attributable to the time-varying speed which subsequently causes variations in the time required to travel between the two points, in this paper, we develop a modified Space-Time Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (STARIMA) model with time-varying lags for...
Ultra-wideband (UWB) radio technology offers a variety of opportunities to fulfill the increasing demands on wireless communication systems. On the one hand, high-speed data transmission can be realized using high data rate (HDR) UWB devices. On the other hand, low-power, low data rate (LDR) devices based on impulse radio can be realized. In this manuscript, the authors present a concept of combining...
Ultra-Wideband (UWB) networks are expected to support a wide range of communication-intensive, real-time multimedia applications. One of the key issues in UWB networks is optimization of Quality of Service (QoS) parameters. To meet the QoS demands of each UWB user and maximize the overall network throughput, several technical aspects shall be concerned, e.g. physical layer transmission format, multi...
This paper discusses a maximum likelihood (ML) estimator for the localization of mobile nodes in communication networks. The derived estimator is optimized for ranging measurements exploiting the received signal strength (RSS). For this purpose, the bias and uncertainties of the RSS based ranging procedure are analyzed, considering a path loss model of an indoor ultra-wideband (UWB) network under...
This paper proposes a combined UWB LDR-LT/HDR structure and cooperation possibilities between both systems. A possible structure that utilizes the LDR physical layer to transmit and receive the HDR signaling information for an improved system performance with reduced power consumption is investigated. In addition, an adaption layer is proposed which organizes the cooperation between the two systems...

The Ultra-Wideband Radio Technology (UWB-RT) enables accurate Location and Tracking (LT) applications. However, the required and sophisticated time of arrival (ToA) ranging procedure relies on accurate synchronizations and time measurements. Non-cooperative nodes, not supporting the ToA feature, cannot be localized with this LT approach. Other LT approaches exploit the received signal strength (RSS)...
Ultra-wideband (UWB) enables accurate Localization and Tracking (LT) applications. However, the required and sophisticated time of arrival (ToA) ranging procedure relies on accurate synchronization and time measurements. Today, only few UWB devices support the required ranging feature. Examples are pulse based low data rate (LDR) UWB devices. Conventional multiband OFDM based high data rate (HDR)...
An increasing demand for applications in the area of Ultra-Wideband Radio Technology led to the EUWB (Coexisting Short Range Radio by Advanced Ultra-Wideband Radio Technology, FP7-ICT-215669, www.euwb.eu) project, which has been started in April 2008. The goal of this industry-led initiative of major industrial and excellent academic organizations is the improvement, integration, and the applications...
In recent years extensive research was carried out in order to develop applications for the Ultra-Wideband (UWB) technology and to resolve the practical challenges in implementing an efficient UWB communication system utilizing the UWB impulse radio for precision localization. ToA (Time of Arrival) or TDoA (Time Difference of Arrival) of ranging frame are widely used because ToA and TDoA provide high...
