doc.: IEEE r0 Submission Nov 2005 Stefan Drude, PhilipsSlide 3 Body Area Network Broad range of possible devices Broad range of media types Connect everything you carry on you and with you Offer “Connected User” experience Matches low power environment

doc.: IEEE r0 Submission Nov 2005 Stefan Drude, PhilipsSlide 4 Body Area Networks Usage Scenarios –Fitness monitoring –Wearable audio –Body senor network –Video stream –Remote control & I/O devices

doc.: IEEE r0 Submission Nov 2005 Stefan Drude, PhilipsSlide 5 Fitness Monitoring Central device is MP3 player Wireless headset included Expand functionality –Speed, distance –Heart rate, respiration monitor –Temperature sensor –Pacing information –Location information –Wristwatch display unit –Etc. Total system load < 500 kbps Synchronization may go faster

doc.: IEEE r0 Submission Nov 2005 Stefan Drude, PhilipsSlide 6 Wearable Audio Central device is headset Stereo audio, microphone Connected devices –Cellular phone –MP3 player, PDA –CD audio player –AP at home –Handsfree car –Remote control –Others Requires priority mechanism Network load < 500 kbps

doc.: IEEE r0 Submission Nov 2005 Stefan Drude, PhilipsSlide 7 Body Sensor Network Medical application –Vital patient data –Wireless sensors –Link with bedsite monitor –Count on 10 – 20 sensors Five similar networks in range Minimum setup interaction Potentially wide application Total traffic / patient < 10 kbps

Power consumption~ 1mW / Mbps 1 m distance) Startup time< 100 us, or < 10% of TX slot Latency (end to end)10 ms Network setup time< 1 sec (after initial setup, per device)

doc.: IEEE r0 Submission Nov 2005 Stefan Drude, PhilipsSlide 13 BAN Requirements - Draft Implementation module cost Should be comparable to Bluetooth module Effective sleep mode(s) Concept for effective, remote wake-up Operates in global, license-exempt band

doc.: IEEE r0 Submission Nov 2005 Stefan Drude, PhilipsSlide 14 BAN Requirements - Draft Privacy, security Peer to peer communication, point to multi- point Omni-directional antennas: small, flexible Future proof [for 5 years?] –Upgradeable, scaleable, backwards compatibility Support for several power management / consumption schemes [classes]

doc.: IEEE r0 Submission Nov 2005 Stefan Drude, PhilipsSlide 15 BAN Requirements - Draft Quality of service, guaranteed bandwidth –Specific definitions, depends on application Graceful degradation of services –Depends on application, not always desireable Concurrent availability of asynchronous and isochronous channels Low duty cycle and high duty cycle modes Very low duty cycle applications (sensors) One communication standard for entire BAN, should include low and high bit rates
