Abstract

Space-time focusing transmission in impulse-radio ultra-wideband (IR-UWB) systems resorts to the large number of resolvable paths to reduce the interpulse interference as well as the multiuser interference and to simplify the receiver design. In this paper, we study the spatial capacity of IR-UWB systems with space-time focusing transmission where the users are randomly distributed. We will derive the power distribution of the aggregate interference and investigate the collision probability between the desired focusing peak signal and interference signals. The closed-form expressions of the upper and lower bound of the outage probability and the spatial capacity are obtained. Analysis results reveal the connections between the spatial capacity and various system parameters and channel conditions such as antenna number, frame length, path loss factor, and multipath delay spread, which provide design guidelines for IR-UWB networks.
