The industry is merging two different Wireless Personal Area Networks (WPAN) technologies: Bluetooth (BT) and WiMedia Ultra Wide Band (UWB), into a single BT over UWB (BToUWB) specification. The goal is to provide low cost, low power and a wide range of data rate wireless communications for multimedia applications. The complexity to study such a system requires the development of a high-level and fast simulation model in order to explore the algorithms necessary for the merging of the standards. The aim of this paper is to provide an overview of the methodology used to create a high level model of a BToUWB device at the Medium Access Control level.
