Abstract

The proliferation of consumer electronic devices that provide streams of video, such as digital-video disk (DVD) players, high-definition television (HDTV) sets, digital cameras, and digital camcorders, has given rise to significant interest in broadband home entertainment networks. Wireless home networks are particularly attractive because of ease of installation or relocation. However, many existing wireless networks do not satisfy the demands of the home-networking environment, nor do they provide the necessary performance to support multiple audio-video streams. This paper describes the characteristics and the advantages of ultra-wideband (UWB) radio technology when combined with a decentralized, priority-driven network architecture for wireless video networking in the home
