Performance of Two-Way Code-Multiplexed UWB Relay Networks

Recently, two-way relay network has been taken attention. In this paper, the two-way relayprotocols of ultra-wideband (UWB) network based on code-multiplexed transmitted-reference (CMTR)impulse radio have been studied. Based on code-multiplexed scheme, a new two-way relayingstrategy for two-slots protocol is designed. The corresponding bit error rate (BER) performance isevaluated via simulations and compared with three-slots scheme which can get path diversity gainfrom direct link between terminals. Simulation results reveal that the performance of the two-slotsrelaying scheme is almost same with that of the three-slots scheme. Meanwhile the throughput ispromoted about 33% over three-slots scheme.
