The Ultra-Platform for Wireless Multimedia
Copyright © 2006 WiMedia Alliance. All Rights Reserved. 2
Regulated in the US since February 2002
UWB is available spectrum, not a specific technology
7,500MHz of unlicensed spectrum
First regulation ever that allows spectrum sharing: low emission limit (-41.3dBm/MHz EIRP) doesn’t cause harmful interference
Transmitters need to occupy at least 500MHz all the time
UWB devices are NOT defined as impulse radios or by any specific modulation
Enough spectrum to reach much higher data rates than in the ISM band (83.5MHz at 2.4GHz) or the U-NII bands (300MHz at 5GHz)
Optimized for short-distances applications
FCC regulationsUltra-Wideband (UWB) at a Glance

What Problem Does UWB Solve?
The Customer’s Frustration with Cables:
• Tangle of cables in our Homes and Offices
• Ever increasing file sizes of content to be downloaded and enjoyed by Consumers
• Consumers don’t want to wait long for a file to transfer
• User Models limited by the use of Cables• Customers to-day prefer Wireless
UWB is more than a Cable replacement technology
Create new User Models and product opportunities not possible today with cables
BUT…..MUST Match the Security of cables
MUST be easy to use

History of Ultra-Wideband
• Four years of public debate before FCC issues approval
• Four years of standards debates in IEEE yield two competing approaches
• Majority of competing approaches align into single standard: Multiband OFDM (MB-OFDM)

Industry’s First Commercial UWB Standards
Released by Ecma International
ECMA-368Defines Physical (PHY) and Media Access Control (MAC) layers for a
decentralized, complex system Employs the unlicensed 3.1 to 10.6 GHz UWB spectrumMandates support of at least 53.3, 106.7 and 200 Mb/s to ensure a
reasonable consumer experience ECMA-369
Defines the ECMA-368 companion interface specification Enables interconnectivity for separate implementations of ECMA-368
PHY and MAC layers
Currently applies to U.S. only

Ecma Standards Industry Benefits
Establishing a single, global, interoperable UWB standard
Setting a precedence for other regions to consider when developing UWB regulations
Alleviating obstacles caused by a defragmented industry with varying proprietary UWB radios
Enabling consumers to choose devices based on functionality and brand instead of requiring consumers to learn/understand various, incompatible UWB radios
Building the market opportunity

WiMedia Alliance & Ecma International
WiMedia Alliance is not a partner/member of Ecma International or vice versa.
Several individuals who are active members of the WiMedia Alliance are also active members of Ecma International (referred to as “shared members”).
Ecma International’s UWB work precedes shared members’ contributions.
Shared members and Ecma International engineers devising UWB standards began collaborating in early 2005.
August 2005 marked review period of final UWB standards proposals. Standards based on WiMedia UWB specifications.

Next Steps Regarding Standardization
Adopt Ecma International standards ECMA-368 & ECMA-369
Shared members continue working with Ecma International to bring ECMA-368 and ECMA-369 through ISO process
Finalize certification and interoperability program supporting ECMA-368 and ECMA-369
Continue liaising with various regional regulatory bodies

MB-OFDM provides the best performance for the environments under which UWB-based applications will be operating.
MB-OFDM provides the best performance for the environments under which UWB-based applications will be operating.
OFDM is the UWB SolutionOFDM invented more than 40 years agoOFDM a robust and PROVEN technology OFDM adopted by important international standards:
Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) and VDSL services Digital Audio Broadcast (DAB) Digital Terrestrial Television Broadcast:
– DVB in Europe and ISDB in Japan IEEE 802.11a/g, 802.16a, Power Line Networking (HomePlug)
OFDM variant recently won out over the CAP approachBecause OFDM is suitable for high data-rate systems, it is
also being considered for the following standards: Fourth-generation (4G) wireless services IEEE 802.11n, IEEE 802.16 (WiMax) and IEEE 802.20
