May 16, 2007Doc: IEEE 802.15-07-0722-00-0ban Jean Schwoerer (France Telecom R&D) Slide4 Categorization of BAN links –Some BAN link need high data rates Some medical applications (implanted or wearable) Video links or fast download of big files Links between batteries powered devices Requirement are : Datarate > 10 Mbit/s and low power –Other links require only low data rate Sensors (medical, temperature, movement) or simple interface Embedded into everyday item Requirement are => very low power (energy scavenging) and very simple network subscription / unsubscription High data rate isn't needed

May 16, 2007Doc: IEEE 802.15-07-0722-00-0ban Jean Schwoerer (France Telecom R&D) Slide5 MICS Band in Europe –402 – 405 MHz band has been allocated to Medical implanted Comm System with a 25µW maximal ERP by ERC/DEC 01(17) if compliance with ETSI EN-301839 harmonized standard. –The 401-402 MHz and the 405-406 MHz frequency bands were selected for the emerging medical implant technologies, using Ultra Low Power – Active Medical Implants (ULP-AMI) and ULP-AMI-P (peripheral devices for ULP-AMI). Band allocation is under investigation

May 16, 2007Doc: IEEE 802.15-07-0722-00-0ban Jean Schwoerer (France Telecom R&D) Slide7 MICS Band in Europe Active Implantable Medical Device (AIMD): any active medical device (AMD) which is intended to be totally or partially introduced, surgically or medically, into the human body or by medical intervention into a natural orifice, and which is intended to remain after the procedure

8. May 16, 2007Doc: IEEE 802.15-07-0722-00-0ban Jean Schwoerer (France Telecom R&D) Slide8 MICS Band in Europe Those bands are reserved only for medical and implanted system. Therefore they can't be used for wearable BAN communications (even for medical applications). It's unsure how "healthcare" applications will be able to use this band. This band is used on a licence-free basis and whithout protection against interference Bandwidth and power are limited.

9. May 16, 2007Doc: IEEE 802.15-07-0722-00-0ban Jean Schwoerer (France Telecom R&D) Slide9 ISM Band in Europe ISM bands are opened to almost anything (ISM means Industrial, Scientific and Medical) Applications are free for short range device (SRD) but : –Power is limited –Duty cycle can be limited too –There is no protection against interference. CEPT Recommendation ERC/REC 70(03)

10. May 16, 2007Doc: IEEE 802.15-07-0722-00-0ban Jean Schwoerer (France Telecom R&D) Slide10 ISM Band in Europe Mains sub-GHz bands are : –433.05 – 434.790 MHz : 10 mW if duty cycle is lower than 10% 1mW otherwise –863 – 870 MHz : 25 mW and duty cycle < 0.1% (or LBT) 865 - 868 MHz : 25 mW and duty cycle < 1% (or LBT) 868 - 868.6 MHz : 25 mW and duty cycle < 1% (or LBT) 869.400 - 869.650 MHz : 500 mW and duty cycle < 10% (or LBT) 869.7 - 870 MHz : 5 mW without duty cycle limitation

17. May 16, 2007Doc: IEEE 802.15-07-0722-00-0ban Jean Schwoerer (France Telecom R&D) Slide17 Conclusions MICS band can be a good solution –Worldwide availability (to be confirmed for Japan ?) –But applications are very limited and bandwidth is limited –We probably need also a PHY on ISM bands ISM and UWB Bands offers a lot of flexibility –No restrictions on applications –More bandwidth availlable for higher data rate –Sub-GHz ISM bands will be hard to use –2.4 GHz and UWB offers WW compliance
