The document discusses multi-band OFDM ultra wide band (UWB) communication systems for high speed wireless personal area networks. It describes how the multi-band OFDM technology addresses challenges faced by UWB devices by using multi-banding and OFDM to provide spectral flexibility and worldwide regulatory compliance. It was standardized by the WiMedia Alliance and approved in the ECMA-368 standard, leading to products incorporating the technology and interest from the academic community.
