UWB Radio Potential (Markets)

UWB suitable for high number of appliances

Indoor (home, office, workplace, stores...) + outdoor

Can serve low to high-end markets

Low cost: e.g. RFID, positioning, sensor networks

High performance : e.g. high rate video data, wireless WWW access, mobile computing

Convergence synergies

7th Meeting of the Radio Spectrum

Committee Brussels, March 3rd 2004

Operation Principles (“Spectrum Underlay“)

1 Frequency/GHz 10

Narrowband (e.g GSM: +35 dBm/MHz)

WCDMA (typ. +15 dBm/MHz)

UWB (e.g – 41 dBm/MHz)

4

Transmit Power

Spectral Density

[dBm/MHz]

Bandwidth (GSM : WCDMA : UWB) ~ 1 : 10 : 10000

7th Meeting of the Radio Spectrum

Committee Brussels, March 3rd 2004

Operation Principles (Major Advantages)

Access to a huge license-free spectrum resource

Decentralised use of spectrum by high number

of UWB devices

High spatial capacity (100s Mb/s in room/office)

Low max. RF output power (< 0.6 mW in US)

low radiation hazard

Supports maximisation of spectrum usage

7th Meeting of the Radio Spectrum

Committee Brussels, March 3rd 2004

Status of Research & Development

< 2000 Military applications (US start-ups)

~2000 International interest (Far East/Europe)

Major manufacturers get invested in UWB

2001 European UWB projects (IST)

whyless.com (FP5, UWB-WLAN, spectrum management study)

UCAN (FP5, UWB high data rate system development)

ULTRAWAVES (FP5, UWB system for multiple video streams)

PACWOMAN/URSAFE (FP5, low power PAN, medical appl.)

2003 250 Mb/s over short links demonstrated

2004 PULSERS (FP6, builds on and extends FP5 UWB

projects) 7

7th Meeting of the Radio Spectrum

Committee Brussels, March 3rd 2004

Status of Research & Development (Europe)

UWB research in Europe

Closing up to US and Japan

Dedicated and efficient research community

Considerable visibility in international scientific, regulation and standardisation activities

Practical implementations/experience

Not encouraged by pending regulatory processes

Hampered by non-existent initial/experimental deployment permits

8

7th Meeting of the Radio Spectrum

Committee Brussels, March 3rd 2004

Status of Regulation (US)

Federal Communications Commission (FCC)

UWB regulation effective February 2002

“Start from conservative basis“

Reiterations dependent on market experience

• initial ruling confirmed February 2003 Spectrum masks (e.g. –41.3 dBm/MHz from 3.1 – 10.6 GHz)

Indoor: fixed UWB infrastructure

Outdoor: only mobile UWB devices

UWB operation possible below 1 GHz

9

7th Meeting of the Radio Spectrum

Committee Brussels, March 3rd 2004

Status of Regulation (ASIA)

Japan Studies initiated by MPHPT in 2002 ICT Sub-Council report

• Positive as regards coexistence• Cautious approach advised

Regulation expected in 2005 Experimental deployment in 2004?

Singapore IDA proactively drives UWB UWB friendly zone established in 2003 allowing 4 times FCC power spectral density

10

7th Meeting of the Radio Spectrum

Committee Brussels, March 3rd 2004

Status of Regulation (Europe)

ETSI mandated (M/329) by EC DG Enterprise in 2003 to produce harmonised UWB standard

Request to establish a set of Harmonised Standardscovering UWB applications under Directive 1999/5/EC

Ongoing coexistence studies : CEPT (SE24)

Contradictory study results (pro vs con)

No jointly accepted interference models/definitions

No experimental verification planned

Process currently appears “deadlocked“

Reason for our being here today!

11

7th Meeting of the Radio Spectrum

Committee Brussels, March 3rd 2004

UWB Cluster Recommendations

RSC is invited to encourage...

Continuation of open & transparent European UWB regulation process

Adequate protection of established spectrum users and radio services

Global compatibility of UWB regulation

Convergence towards jointly accepted interference models/thresholds

Incremental (low risk) regulation process with early trial phase preceding open UWB market

12

7th Meeting of the Radio Spectrum

Committee Brussels, March 3rd 2004

Contribute to:

Interference models, -scenarios, -definitions, ... by providing critical mass of expertise

Setting-up effective UWB trial framework

• Providing UWB technologies & technical

skills

• Conducting measurements/field trials

• Evaluation & reporting of relevant results

UWB Cluster – Proposed Role

The UWB Cluster invites the RSC to provide guidance on how to go forward in a most

constructive manner
