Abstract
A channel access scheme is provided for a pulse-based ultra-wide band network. Here, concurrent ultra-wide band channels may be established through the use of a pulse division multiple access scheme. An access scheme may employ different states each of which may be associated with different channel parameter state information and/or different duty cycles. For example, a channel access scheme may employ an inactive state, an idle state, a connected state, and a streaming state. Multiple logical channels may be defined for a given ultra-wide band channel via, for example, pulse division multiplexing.
