Patient monitoring is emerging as an important application of embedded sensors network. Many wireless sensors are implanted in/on the patient body. These tiny wireless sensors make Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs). WBANs can observe physiological conditions of patient under supervision, and can provide us real-time feedback. Through WBAN a patient is constantly monitored, and in case of some critical...
IEEE 802.15.6 standard has emerged as the most suitable standard that fits the special requirements of WBANs. Although the published IEEE 802.15.6 standard draft provides flexibility to designers by recommending the use of several MAC layer techniques, it does not specify how to combine some or all of these recommended techniques to form the most efficient WBAN MAC for a specific scenario. Our main...
This paper introduces some of the recent activities in a medical ICT related ultra wideband (UWB) research. The paper concentrates on our proposed body area network (BAN) based system architecture for wireless medical communications, and gives also a summary on experimental UWB wireless BAN (WBAN) radio channels modeling activities. The network architecture under discussion consists of parts that...
