Abstract
To increase the transmission data rate, we propose to use M-ary pulse position modulation (PPM) for transmitted reference (TR) ultra-wideband (UWB) systems. The performance of TR UWB systems employing M-ary PPM is investigated in multipath, multiuser environments without centralized power control. The interference from high-power users is shown to significantly degrade the performance of TR UWB systems using M-ary PPM. Chip discrimination is used to mitigate the detrimental effect of high-power users. Theoretical analysis on the performance of M-ary PPM applied to TR UWB systems is derived. A tight upper bound for the symbol error probability is obtained. Analysis and numerical results show that TR UWB systems with M-ary PPM using chip discrimination is robust against high-power interfering users in wireless networks where centralized power control is infeasible, such as ad-hoc networks.
