Abstract: [This contribution describes the on-going process of putting in place a UWB focused European Project
called PULSERS, which is applying for the 6th framework of the European Community telecommunication projects]
Purpose: [In this presentation, we describe the process of putting in place a comprehensive UWB project for the 6 th
framework, as well as the motivations and main targets for such a project. The framework is supposed to last for about 5
years with several calls for projects within this period of time. PULSERS is a strong initiative with more than 45
organizations wishing to apply, and with the goal of contributing to regulation, standardization, algorithms and IPs
development, and demonstrator implementation. High speed communication systems, meshed networks and low data
rate sensor networks are targeted.]

A European Initiative for Integrated UWB System Research
“What is a Pervasive Wireless System?”
 A state of wireless networking where a user moves
seamlessly from one area to another unhindered by
bandwidth and incompatible wireless methods.
 Seamless and wireless networking not just between
users but between users and intelligent appliances and
between such appliances themselves.
 Wireless (indoor) networking where data transactions
and network operation and management are supported
by up-to-date and precise terminal location information.

A European Initiative for Integrated UWB System Research
 PULSERS (Pervasive Ultra-wideband Low Spectral Energy Radio Systems) is an new international
consortium preparing an Integrated Project proposal under the upcoming 6th Framework Program
(FP6) of the European Information Society and Technologies (IST) program:
 Initially proposed by IBM Research (Zurich, Switzerland) and Philips Research (Redhill, England),
the PULSERS idea has now focused the interest and support of some 45 industrial and academic
research & development organizations mainly – but not exclusively - located in Europe:
► The PULSERS Consortium is presently under formation to prepare a detailed proposal.
 Technical focus of PULSERS is on short-range wireless systems based on Ultra-wideband (UWB)
radio technology concepts, e.g., to enable reliable high rate transmission in multimedia applications
and lower-rate transactions combined with position location & tracking, sensing and identification.
 PULSERS will also be guided by the fact that significant efforts are required to increase acceptance
of UWB radio technology on a worldwide basis in appropriate regulatory and standards bodies.

Main Objectives
 User Scenarios and Applications – Define new, perhaps unconventional user scenarios and
applications which leverage the unique advantages and properties offered by UWB-RT; determine
requirements on the qualitative and quantitative PHY/MAC and higher layer specifications (e.g., joint
data and positioning).
 Performance and Algorithms – Perform a comparative performance analysis (theory, simulation and
experiments) to assess the merits of various coding, modulation, multiple-access and positioning
schemes for UWB radio applications; include pulsed and alternate (ultra-)wideband signaling methods.
 Interference and Coexistence – Determine interference and coexistence effects of – and on – UWB
devices in heterogeneous network situations; coordinate and cooperate with related organizations.
 Semiconductor and Circuit Technologies – Advancements in the use of high-speed, mixed-signal
semiconductor processes (e.g., CMOS, SiGe/BiCMOS, GaAs, InPh) and design methods, enabling
high-volume, low-power and cost-effective “system on chip” (SoC) or “system on package” (SoP)
solutions.
 Implementation and Demonstration – Implement/demonstrate selected user scenarios in terms of UWB
hardware and specific software and trial application functions (e.g., data, positioning, sensing) in
ambient intelligent environments.
 Regulation and Standardization – Support a global consensus on UWB radio regulation and work
towards consolidated proposals and submissions to international bodies standardizing UWB radio
devices and services.

PULSERS Cooperation with Non-European Organizations
PULSERS ©
 The European Commission encourages a cooperation between future European projects – funded
under the 6th Framework Program (FP6) of the European Information Society and Technologies
(IST) program – with related international projects and consortia or their individual members:
►
 In particular, the PULSERS interest group invites initiatives from non-European organizations with
similar goals in the area of UWB systems research and development to consider the cooperation
opportunities provided by the PULSERS initiative:
► Non-European organizations qualify as “third countries” under FP6 – i.e., these countries
can participate in European FP6 projects but they will not be able to receive any funding;
► Besides cooperation in suitable technical fields, PULSERS encourages to explore a potential
cooperation in the areas of radio regulatory matters (e.g., spectrum mask, future requirements)
and international industrial standardization of UWB communication and positioning devices;
► PULSERS foresees significant efforts to facilitate the introduction and acceptance of UWB radio
technology in the appropriate worldwide regulatory and standardization bodies.

Summary

PULSERS defined the operational contexts and user scenarios for UWB applications
requiring data communication and location tracking or a combination of both

Four main user scenarios have been identified:
- Hot spot wireless personal area network (WPAN);
- Intelligent wireless area network (IWAN);
- Outdoor peer-to-peer networking (OPPN);
- Sensor, positioning and identification network (SPIN).

Started to determine the requirements in terms of communication needs (e.g., data
rate, link distance, ad-hoc or centralized network) and location information (e.g.,
distance, direction, and position accuracy).

Next steps include definition of requirements for the physical layer (PHY) and
medium access control (MAC).

The need for a globally harmonized spectrum regulation is considered a critical asset
- coordinated actions are planned or have already started.

PULSERS will apply for an Integrated Project under IST-FP6 (Call 1).
