This paper focuses on wireless body area networks (WBAN) targeted for medical ICT applications. The studied network follows a typical IEEE 802.15.4 beacon-enabled star topology. We simulate the collection of medical data from patients using wireless sensors. Impulse radio ultra wideband (IR-UWB) is chosen as a physical layer technology, in compliance with the IEEE 802.15.4a standard. Two random access...
The use of wireless technology for intra-vehicle communication is becoming possible in replacing in-scalable, high weight and high manufacture cost automotive wired networks. Ultra-Wide Band (UWB) is emerging as an ideal alternative for implementing an Intra-Vehicle Wireless Sensor Network (I-VWSN) due to its very high data rate and low power consumption. However, the current IEEE MAC Layer Protocol...
The Road and Traffic Authority (RTA) of NSW, Australia, partnered with NICTA, are looking into wireless sensor network technologies to monitor the structural health of bridges. The task involves exploring different sensing, networking, and distributed computation approaches for the specific application of Structural Health Monitoring (SHM). The exploration has to happen on-site with real world conditions...
