Abstract

Body area communication technique is an essential technical support for medical and healthcare services. This chapter presents on-body communication aspects using ultra-wide band (UWB) technique for neonates and infants monitoring service. With numerical analysis tool, the transmission characteristic around the infant body is first investigated in terms of on-body UWB path loss model, in which shadow fading around the body is modeled. Then the communication performance for impulse radio (IR) scheme system is evaluated based on the derived infant on-body UWB path loss model. The methodology for evaluating the average bit error rate (BER) in a shadow fading channel is proposed. The communication link budget for infants is thus presented based on the average bit error rate conclusions in infant on-body UWB fading channel.
