A New Self Organized Clustering Scheme for Hierarchical TH-PPM UWB Wireless Ad Hoc Networks
Ultra wideband (UWB) systems are considered as the key wireless infrastructure technology for efficient short-range communications and mobile applications. In this paper, we study the problem of bandwidth scheduling in a UWB based hierarchical wireless ad hoc network, which is typically used in an enterprise-scale mobile computing environment. A novel self-organized clustering method is designed to improve system throughput. Simulation results suggest that the proposed clustering method is effective under various system configurations
