Wireless body area network platforms evaluation

2013 9th International Wireless Communications and Mobile Computing Conference (IWCMC), 2013
This paper aims to propose an evaluation and a comparison of health-monitoring platforms based on wireless body area network (WBAN). We focused on the main concept behind these platforms individually as well as we classified these platforms based on the provided solutions and their main features. Important considerations in designing WBAN platforms are

Wireless Body Area Network for Sleep Staging

2007 IEEE Biomedical Circuits and Systems Conference, 2007
This paper reports the development of a Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) for sleep staging applications. A prototype biopotential sensor node has been designed for monitoring a multitude of biopotential signals. A system consisting of three of these nodes packaged in a headband enables wireless sleep stage monitoring. Preliminary results obtained from

Link Adaptation in Wireless Body Area Networks

2011 IEEE 73rd Vehicular Technology Conference (VTC Spring), 2011
We consider a Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) where wearable sensor devices are distributed on a body and have to send the measured data to a coordinator. The network uses the Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Avoidance algorithm defined by the IEEE 802.15.4 standard as Medium Access Control protocol, whereas different modulation schemes ...

Channel models for wireless body area networks

2008 30th Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society, 2008
Wireless patient monitoring using wearable sensors is a promising application. This paper provides stochastic channel models for wireless body area network (WBAN) on the human body. Parameters of the channel models are extracted from measured channel transfer functions (CTFs) in a hospital room.

A mobile wireless body area network platform

Journal of Computational Science, 2014
Abstract This paper aims to propose a system architecture for a mobile health-monitoring platform based on a wireless body area network (WBAN). We detail the WBAN features from either hardware and software point of view. The system architecture of this platform is three-tier system. Each tier is detailed.
