Comparative analysis of Bluetooth 3.0 with UWB and Certified Wireless-USB protocols

摘要

This paper presents the results of the comparative analysis of two different protocols that use or could potentially use the Ultra Wideband (UWB) radio technology — Certified Wireless-USB and Bluetooth 3.0 with UWB. Bluetooth 3.0 with UWB is found to have a number of advantages over Certified Wireless-USB. These include lesser overheads, higher throughputs, higher power efficiency, better device association mechanisms, dedicated profiles, and support for data broadcast. The Bluetooth 3.0 protocol with UWB as the high speed radio is proposed as the more preferred option for integration into mobile devices.
