TL;DR: It is found that even a small number of very near interferers can greatly reduce the performance of a system without blanking or discrimination, and a statistical model is developed that predicts bit-error performance for binary offset pulse position modulation as a function of near-far density and power for varying discrimination thresholds.

2002 journal article

The effects of timing jitter and tracking on the performance of impulse radio

IEEE JOURNAL ON SELECTED AREAS IN COMMUNICATIONS, 20(9), 1646–1651.

By: W. Lovelace n & J. Townsend n

author keywords: impulse radio (IR); medium access control (MAC) layer; network; timing jitter; tracking; ultra-wideband (UWB) radio; wireless
TL;DR: The performance of IR is very sensitive to timing jitter and tracking, at least in part due to the very narrow pulses, and orthogonal 4-ary pulse position modulation out performs binary offset PPM at all jitter levels in thermal and pulse noise. (via Semantic Scholar)
