Novel packet routing scheme based on location information for UWB ad-hoc network

Abstract

In this paper, a novel packet routing scheme for UWB ad-hoc network is proposed and evaluated. UWB is a kind of spread spectrum communication and it is possible to detect the distance between the nodes. The novel routing scheme proposed in this paper employs UWB's features and controls spreading factor according to the distance between the nodes. With controlling the maximum transmission distance and adopting multi-hop transmission, the throughput performance can be improved as compared to single-hop transmission.
