Abstract

EUWB (Coexisting Short Range Radio by Advanced Ultra-Wideband Radio Technology, FP7-ICT-215669, www.euwb.eu) has been an industry-led initiative of twenty-one major industrial and excellent academic organizations from Europe and Israel targeting innovative improvement, adaptation, integration and application of short-range Ultra-Wideband Radio Technology (UWB-RT). EUWB will effectively leverage and significantly enhance the scientific knowledge base in the advanced UWB-RT and will provide sophisticated new applications enabled by UWB and highly demanded in several European key industrial sectors such as home entertainment consumer electronics, automotive, public transportation, and heterogeneous cellular networks. A major asset of the successful application of UWB technology will be an efficient exploitation of cross-layer functionalities. Within EUWB, two major fields of this emerging challenge have been identified, namely the cognitive radio related Detect-And-Avoid (DAA) technology and the location tracking (LT) technology. In this manuscript the authors will first illustrate the technical approach of EUWB, giving a brief overview of the project and then explain how DAA and LT have been considered in the EUWB application solutions.
