Abstract :
With the rapid development of new technologies in the field of internet of things (IoT) and intelligent networks, researchers are more interested than ever in the concept of wireless sensor networks (WSNs). The emergence of these densely structured networks in recent years has raised the importance of the use of telecommunications technologies, such as ultra-wideband (UWB) technology with high reliability, industrial applications, and appropriate communication security. However, there are still numerous concerns about the extent of inter-network interference, particularly owing to undesired spectral discrete lines in this technology. As a result, it is necessary to provide an optimal solution to eliminate interference and control the power spectrum, and then design the optimal transmitter-receiver structures while considering high sensitivities to the synchronization problem in WSNs based on UWB technology. These goals are pursued in the present study by employing the optimal spectral strategy in the signal model, the structure of the transmitter sensor, and then constructing the optimal or sub-optimal receiver sensor structures, the results of which indicate improved communication performance in WSNs.
