SYSTEM AND METHOD TO ENABLE WUSB APPLICATIONS IN A DISTRIBUTED UWB MAC

摘要

A system and method is provided for incorporating host-device communication inwireless IJSB (WUSB). A host (101) either uses a multicast DistributedReservation Protocol (DRP) frame on behalf of connected devices (102) toreserve wireless channel resources, a unicast DRP frame or EnhancedDistributed Channel Access (EDCA) with a Poll Frame. In the case of a unicastDRP frame the number of unicast frames sent for reservation depends on thenumber of connected devices (102).
