Abstract

A new form of spread spectrum technique called the ultra wideband impulse radio (UWB-IR) system has drawn much attention for future high speed wireless communication services. In this paper, a new type of time hopping sequences constructed from multiple distinct m-sequences of the same order, is proposed for multiple access in the UWB-IR systems. Simulation results reveal that the proposed time hopping sequences achieve comparable or even better bit error rate performance than the ideal random sequences, and can be effectively applied in various multiple access situations.
