Abstract
This invention presents a wireless UWB-based space-time networks communication that is used to utilize a larger number of sensor nodes in commercial, potentially hostile, and militarily sensitive environments. The sensor networks communications contain N wireless UWB-based space-time sensor nodes, M sensor node forward stations and a sensor basestation. Each of wireless UWB-based space-time sensor nodes is to support data collection with a multimode sensing, signal processing and analysis, and transmission fashion by using an UWB pulse modulation with a multiple antenna. The sensor node forward stations have a dual-mode transmitting function based MIMO space-time and UWB approaches along with a spread spectrum technology. The sensor basestation also uses a space-time approach with MIMO sensor-antenna architecture. Thus, the wireless UWB-based sensor networks communications simultaneously exploit temporal and spatial diversity for sensor networks communications, thereby converting spatially distributed UWB-based sensor nodes into efficient, robust, reliable, and secure wireless sensor communications.
