USB CONCEPT
 Universal Serial Bus (USB) is a
specification to establish
communication between
devices and a host controller.
 USB can connect computer
peripherals such
as mice, keyboards, digital
cameras, printers,
personal media players, flash
drives, Network Adapters,
and external hard drives.
INTRODUCTION TO
WIRELESS USB
 Wireless USB is a short-
range, high-
bandwidth  wireless radio
communication protocol
created by the Wireless
USB Promoter Group.
 The original motivation for
USB came from several
considerations, two of the
most important being:
 Ease of use
 Port expansion
 DEVELOPMENT
The Wireless USB Promoter Group was formed in February
2004 to define the Wireless USB specification.
 In May 2005, the Wireless USB Promoter Group
announced the completion of the Wireless USB
specification.
 In June 2006, five companies showed the first multi-
vendor interoperability demonstration of Wireless USB. A
laptop with an Intel host adapter using an Alereon PHY
was used to transfer high definition video from a Philips
wireless semiconductor solution with a Realtek PHY, all
using Microsoft Windows XP drivers developed for
Wireless USB.
REASONS FOR WIRELESS
USB
 Lack of easiness of use in wired
USB
 Inefficiency of current wireless
solutions
Issues of wired USB
 Wires are restrictive
 Multiple wires can be a hassle
 In many situations wireless
solutions can easily deliver same
speeds that wired solutions are
delivering.
INADEQUACY OF CURRENT
WIRELESS SOLUTIONS
• Bluetooth
Bandwidth of 3 Mbps is
not enough for most of
the applications which
needs very high
bandwidth. The
applications like video,
HDTV, monitor etc. are
good examples.
CONTINUED…..
• Wi-Fi
 One of the main
disadvantage of Wi-Fi
is its high expense to
set up a network and
make it working.
 Another draw back
of Wi-Fi is the higher
power consumption.
Wireless USB vs. 60 GHz
Few issues differentiate the two technologies:
 Line of Sight: at 60 GHz, radio communication is blocked by
any intervening object, which implies the need for open line
of sight. Wireless USB is based on the UWB platform, which
operates in the 3.1 to 10.6 GHz frequency range, and
therefore intervening bodies can be passed through with no
line-of-sight limitation.
 Mobility: the 60 GHz technology is appealing to the wireless
video market because it is supposed to deliver multi-gigabit-
speed wireless communications.
TOPOLOGY REQUIREMENTS
 The fundamental relationship in
WUSB is a hub and spoke
topology

In this topology, the host initiates all

the data traffic among the devices
connected to it.

The WUSB host can logically

connect to a maximum of 127 WUSB
devices.

Topology will support a dual role

model where a device can also
support limited
host capabilities.
 ADVANTAGES
 Backward Compatibility
 High Performance
 Simple low cost implementation
 An easy migration path
PERFORMANCE
 The 480 Mbps initial target bandwidth of
WUSB is comparable to the current wired USB
2.0 standard.
 With 480 Mbps being the initial target, WUSB
specifications will allow for generation steps
of data throughput as the ultra wideband
radio evolves and with future process
technologies, exceeding limits of 1 Gbps.
WIRELESS
USB
DEVICES
WIRELESS N-USB DONGLE
 The Wireless-N USB Dongle can
be installed in most notebooks or
desktops and provides true
flexibility by allowing the
computer to be positioned almost
anywhere in the building without
the cost and hassle of running
network cables.
 Using the wireless USB dongle,
you don't have to worry about
drilling holes in your walls and
climbing through the attic or
cellar to get connected to the
network.
 FEATURES
• 6 times faster speeds than Wireless-G
• Interoperates with existing Wireless-
G/B equipments
• Advanced WPA (Wi-Fi Protected
Access) encryption, provide maximum
wireless security
• Supports operating system: Windows
2000/XP/XP64/Windows Vista
• Ease of Installation and Use
 FEATURES
 Wirelessly display PC and internet content on flat TV
monitor or Projector
 HD video upto 720p.
 UWB radio compliance for home or office (US FCC,
Europe CE, Japan radio law, Korea KCC)
WIRELESS USB DISPLAY
ADAPTOR
It allows users to
view PC content on
primarily TV etc. at
a distance of upto
30 feet within the
same room.
Wireless USB 4 port HUB
 It connects upto 4
USB devices and
accesses these
devices wirelessly
from your desktop or
notebook PC using a
certified Wireless
USB adaptor
Features
 Wirelessly connect
USB devices
 Supports distances
upto 30 feet
 Removes cable clutter
from your PC
 Stream audio/video,
print, store, and
transfer files from
across the room.
WIRELESS USB EXPRESS CARD
ADAPTOR
 The wireless USB
express card adaptor
enables you to access
your wireless USB
devices without limitations
caused by wires.
 Designed to adapt your
regular USB 2.0 interface
to a wireless USB
interface.
 USES
Wireless USB is used in
  game controllers 
 printers 
 digital cameras 
 MP3 players,
  hard disks
 flash drives
 Kensington released a Wireless USB universal docking
station in August, 2008.
 It is also suitable for transferring parallel video
streams, while utilizing the Wireless USB over Ultra-
wideband bandwidth.
GAME CONTROLLERS

 PS3 and wireless controllers use Bluetooth for

connectivity
  Xbox 360 wireless accessories communicate
over a 2.4 GHz protocol. In order to
accommodate this, Microsoft released
the Wireless Gaming Receiver which allows
wireless Xbox 360 accessories to be used on
a Windows-based PC.
WIRELESS PRINTERS
With computer
prices at all time
lows and
continuing to drop,
many people now
have multiple
computers in their
home.
 A better choice is
to buy a wireless
printer.
 You eliminate the necessity of having
your printer be in the same location as
the computer from which you want to
print.  You can now place the wireless
printer wherever you wish in your home
or office.
 Today's laptops are almost always
equiped with Wi-Fi, making it simple
and easy to wirelessly connect and use
your printer. 
 Like almost all computer hardware,
prices for wireless printers has dropped
dramatically and there are many major
brands from which to choose.
 DIGITAL
CAMERAS
 Wireless USB 2.0 Camera
receiver + PC recording
software- This compact
wireless camera receiver
uses USB to send
wireless camera signals
directly to your PC.
 The receiver automatically
syncs up with any 2.4 GHz
cameras within range.
BENEFITS
 You can connect wirelessly,
you dont need to have a
network cable between the
device and the network,
 You can connect fairly easily at
home, work, mulit offices (its
one less cable to carry around
or leave behind).
 you can move around or work
at any avaiable or suitable
location without having to be
near a socket
LIMITATIONS
 In a rush towards a totally wireless
desktop, there is a danger that the
practical limitations of USB become
lost in the marketing fervor.
  A number of Wireless USB dongles
and adapters are available, but most
of them are rather limited when it
comes to resolution/bandwidth.
 Unless the security is properly setup
both your laptop and the network
you are connecting to can be
compromised and you data be read
by others the hardware is flaky, it
can get damaged, lost or stolen.
FUTURE
 Intel and fellow travelers will
continue to drive the Wireless USB
initiative into the marketplace as
the first commercial application to
run on top of the common UWB
radio platform.
 The goal is for Wireless USB to
become the wireless interconnect of
choice for desktop and mobile PCs,
handheld, mobile, and consumer
electronic devices ,allowing easy
connection and data exchange at
high speeds without wires.
