What is a Body Area Network (BAN)?
• provides communication links in and around the body
• Allows communications between sensors, actuators and processing elements
The optimal place to monitor different vital signs, inject drugs or signals are not all in the same location.
A Body Area Network (BAN)…

IEEE Standards
• IEEE Standards are used around the world to help industries and companies open business opportunities, maximize research efforts, generate public and customer trust, build order in the marketplace and enhance safety.
• The IEEE Standards Association (IEEE-SA) is a leading developer of industry standards in a broad-range of industries. Globally recognized, the IEEE-SA has strategic relationships with the IEC, ISO, and the ITU and satisfies all SDO requirements set by the World Trade Organization, offering more paths to international standardization.

Why not use Bluetooth LE?802.15.6 Narrowband and BTLE are designed for different use cases.
Bluetooth LEInfrequent sending of small amounts of data via a mobile phone and/or to a web service. Not designed for:•streaming or applications requiring higher data rates (>20kbps)•applications requiring high reliability (BTLE has no FEC, operates in noisy 2.4GHz band)
802.15.6 NarrowbandFocussed on medical applications requiring short range bidirectional wireless data transfer. Typically at least one end of the wireless link is on or in the human body.It is designed to:•provide a highly reliable wireless connection (FEC & operation in quiet MBAN band)•support streaming

UWB PHY• The wideband PHY is based on UWB technology• In particular impulse radio (IR-UWB) and wideband
FM (FM-UWB)– IR-UWB is based on transmission of either a single pulse
(new paradigm) or a burst of pulses (legacy) per information symbol.
– FM-UWB combines CP-GFSK modulation with wideband FM.

UWB PHY• UWB radios allow
– Low implementation complexity, which is critical for low power consumption.
– The signal power levels are in the order of those used in the MICS band (medical implant devices). That is, UWB provides safety power levels for the human body.
– Low interference to other medical devices and equipment

UWB PHY applications• There are two modes of operation: default mode and
high quality of service (QoS) mode.– The default mode is used in medical and non-medical
applications (IR-UWB transceivers are mandatory for implementation, while FM-UWB transceivers are optional)
– The high QoS mode is used for high priority medical applications (IR-UWB transceivers are mandatory)
