Abstract
Ultra Wide Band (UWB) impulse radio, promises to be suitable for short-range, low-power, low cost and high data rate applications. While most UWB research is concentrating on the physical layer, little research has been published on the link layer. A novel self-organizing link layer protocol (SDD) based on time hopping impulse radio was proposed by the authors. In this paper, the SDD protocol is further developed and specified in detail. The simulations are carried out using the GloMoSim simulation environment.
