Abstract

In an indoor ultra-wideband (UWB) communication envi- ronment, the line-of-sight (LOS) between the transmitter and receiver may be frequently blocked by moving people. Blocking of LOS may significantly affect the quality of ser- vice (QoS) of on-going UWB communications. Based on the Angular Power Spectrum and the human blocking mod- els, we build a packet-level UWB channel model considering the shadowing processes. The model is simple enough to be incorporated into existing network simulators and it can be used to facilitate protocol design and QoS analysis for UWB based wireless personal area networks (WPANs).
