Abstract :
This paper introduces a novel MAC strategy, which flexibly configures the error protection level and the average pulse period per link to control the shared medium utilization in an IR-UWB network. This strategy deviates from recent research efforts towards access schemes based on IEEE 802.15.4 MAC and exploits research results of game theory and cognitive radio.
