AB  - Short-range wireless systems have recently gained a lot of attention to provide seamless,
multimedia communications around a user-centric concept in so called Wireless Personal Area
Networks (WPAN). Ultra-Wide Band (UWB) technology presents itself as a good candidate for the
Physical Layer (PHY) of WPAN, both for high and low data rate applications. Many ongoing
developments of Ultra-Wide Band (UWB) system concentrate mainly on the physical layer, without
significant considerations being given to the medium access techniques especially for targeted ad-hoc
networking scenarios. Here, we further refine the framework, the network challenges, and defines a
global network cost function, which takes into account both physical, and network layers parameters to
derive general guidelines for ad-hoc networks based on UWB technology.
