2. Outline • Content explosion call for fast local connectivity • Use cases for multimedia handhelds • Mobile handheld requirements for UWB • Key messages Pekka A. Ranta, Nokia

3. Content Explosion Calls for Fast Local Connectivity Users own gigabytes of personal data Mobile device as a personal storage Terminal categories • Business terminals • Multimedia terminals • Game terminals Exchange and transfer of content is necessity “Free” and fast local connectivity required Technologies • Wired: USB2 and 1394 • Memory cards, small optical discs • Wireless: W-USB, W-1394, WLAN ad-hoc, Bluetooth Pekka A. Ranta, Nokia

4. Use cases for multimedia terminals W-USB, W-1394, UPnP, video-out, PCI-express, etc. • At 2008 high-end camera phone with • several megapixel sensor, • several gigabytes of storage, • video editing capability • video super distribution capability UWB radio signal Synchronisation, downloading content sharing Display & print internet Fast IP access Pekka A. Ranta, Nokia

5. Primary Mobile Handheld Requirements for UWB • Coexistence with other wireless systems • Worldwide standard • Radio performance Pekka A. Ranta, Nokia

6. Coexistence with other wireless services Cellular, Wi-Fi, BT, GPS, WiMax, etc. may be simultaneously used with UWB Around meeting table different typeswireless systems in use Business and private calls oftenoccur next to PC UWB UWB UWB UWB UWB Mobile device on table used as a conference phone Pekka A. Ranta, Nokia

7. Coexistence with other wireless services • OFDM provides low OOB emission levels • Rec. level ca. –76 dBm/MHz at cellular bands band • MB-OFDM enables interference avoidance techniques including transmitter and receiver • Enables avoidance at 528 MHz resolution • Sub-carrier nulling easily achieved • MB-OFDM good for narrowband interference mitigation in receivers to deal with spurious emissions in multi-radio devices Pekka A. Ranta, Nokia

8. Worldwide standard • MB-OFDM is the strongest candidate as a WW standard due wide industry support • Benefits handheld devices that roam internationally • Provides affordable handheld devices by • economies of scale • no need to support multi-PHY standard • no need for interworking mechanisms Pekka A. Ranta, Nokia

9. Performance • MB-OFDM is robust technology being able capture the most channel energy • MB-OFDM complexity and power consumption well understood as based on well-known technology Pekka A. Ranta, Nokia

10. Key messages • Fast wireless local connectivity enables the transfer of gigabytes of personal content and wireless remote displays in imaging, business and entertainment terminals • Worldwide standard protects the consumer interest for affordable and user friendly handheld devices • MB-OFDM is able to provide best trade-off between mobile handheld requirements Pekka A.
