| Summary: | With the regard to the advancement in technology,
Body Area Network (BAN) is one of the increasing interests for a
number of applications, such as medical-sensor networks.
Designing and evaluating its characteristics is necessary as they
are used to monitor vital signs of human body which has to be
accurate, reliable and secure. This paper reviews the main
characteristics of on body communication network using Zigbee
Body Area Network. Measurements of signal strength and the
creepy waves of transmitted and received signals are performed.
The measurements are conducted in a room environmental by
performing those measurements on human body in different
scenarios. Those measurements could be useful to propose a
power saving scheme which reduce the power consumption and
increase the sensor battery life. |
