This chapter highlights the importance of localization in relation to on-body area networks and gives a broad overview of localization methods and technologies. Most of the material is relative to indoor localization, because that is where body-area networks are mostly relevant.

Opportunistic routing for body area network
2011 IEEE Consumer Communications and Networking Conference (CCNC), 2011Wireless body area network (WBAN) is an interesting application of sensor networks which can revolutionize our interaction with the outside world. WBAN like any other sensor network suffers limited energy resources and hence preserving the energy of the nodes is of great importance.

UWB systems for body area networks
International Journal of Ultra Wideband Communications and Systems, 2010The paper describes the physical layer of UWB systems for body area networks currently in development by the IEEE standardization 802.15.6 Task Group. Impulse radio-based UWB systems with non-coherent and differential coherent modulations are envisioned as well as FM-UWB systems.

Addressing Schemes for Body Area Networks
IEEE Communications Letters, 2011This letter explores address allocation in Body Area Networks (BANs) and proposes two novel schemes - Optimized Prophet Address Allocation (OPAA) and Hierarchical Collision-free Address Protocol (HCAP). The aim of the schemes is to use fewer bits in the address space, solve address wastage problems, reduce collisions and improve power efficiency.

Semantic Wireless Body Area Networks
2008 30th Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society, 2008In this paper we introduce the concept of semantic Wireless Body Area Network (sWBAN). First the method for semantic interpretation of body sensor data is developed. This method is then illustrated for the case of ECG monitoring, providing the user with real-time monitoring and interpretation of heart activity.

Advances and Challenges in Body Area Network
2011Body Area Network, which consists of several on-body or in-body sensors, is one kind of wireless sensor networks. Great application potential of BAN in all the fields is found, especially in the medical health care. The development of the wireless technologies has greatly motivated the research and development of BAN.

Edge Computing-Enabled Body Area Networks
2018 32nd International Conference on Advanced Information Networking and Applications Workshops (WAINA), 2018Edge computing paradigm has attracted many interests in the last few years as a valid alternative to the standard Cloud-based approaches to reduce the huge amount of data coming from IoT devices toward the Internet. In this direction, the paper proposes BodyEdge, a novel architecture well suited for medical applications in the context of the emerging ...

Cooperative Scheduling for Coexisting Body Area Networks
IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communications, 2013Body area networks (BANs), referring to embedded wireless systems in, on and around bodies, are expected to take an important role for health, leisure, sports and all facets of our daily life. In many situations, several BANs coexist in a small environment, resulting in very strong inter-BAN interference which may seriously disturb communications in ...
