The IEEE 802.15.SG3a study group is in the process of developing requirements to address a high-rate physical layer extension for future WPANs. Due to the recent FCC ruling allowing ultra-wideband (UWB) technology to be used on an unlicensed basis, many companies participating in the study group will be proposing a UWB based solution. In order to fairly evaluate a UWB proposal, it is necessary to have a channel model that accurately reflects the WPAN operating environment. Since several recent publications suggest that UWB signals, due to their ultra-wide bandwidth, may experience different channel impairments than tradition ‘narrowband’ signals, it is expected that a different channel model will be necessary to capture the uniqueness of UWB propagation. Therefore, this document is a call for contributions for channel models appropriate for UWB signals in WPAN operating environments (< 10 meters).]
