Double-Dwell Hybrid Acquisition in DS-UWB System

Double-Dwell Hybrid Acquisition in DS-UWB System

In this paper, we analyze the performance of double-dwell hybrid initial acquisition in DS-UWB system via detection, miss, false alarm probabilities and mean acquisition time. In the analysis, we consider the effect of the acquisition sequence, and deployment scenario of the abundant multipath components over the small coverage of the piconet in DS-UWB system. Based on the simulation, we obtain various performance on the mean acquisition time by varying the parameters, such as the total number of hypotheses to be searched, subgroup size, and dwell time. Then, we suggest the optimum parameter set for the initial acquisition in DS-UWB system.
