Popis: In this paper, the coexistence issue between multiband-orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing MB-OFDM and time-hopping ultra-wideband TH-UWB networks is widely analyzed. For this purpose, to study and model the TH-UWB interference, an analytical framework which describes key features of the interference distribution is provided. The interference distribution is studied in the context of TH-UWB's signaling parameters. Our results reveal that the interference distribution highly depends on its time-hopping parameters. Therefore, choosing proper time-hopping parameters leads to less destructive interferences. The Generalized Gaussian and the Symmetric-α-Stable SαS distributions are used to model the interference-plus-noise signal. The maximum likelihood and a characteristic function-based regression-type methods are adopted to estimate parameters of Generalized Gaussian and SαS distributions, respectively. Moreover, the interference channel effects on the impulsive behavior of the TH-UWB signal is studied. It is shown that impulsive behavior of the faded interference signals highly depends on the channel time-dispersiveness. Furthermore, an exact performance of a multiband-orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing system impaired by a TH-UWB system is derived. The comparison of the analytical performance, the empirical simulation, and the approximation results show that both approximation methods are valid for low interference-to-noise-ratio, while SαS provides a more accurate approximation for high interference-to-noise-ratio.
