Abstract
Smart fabrics integrate sensors, compute, and radios into deformable, washable textiles. This chapter is a practical guide to end-to-end data links in e-textiles, covering wired buses (I2C/SPI/UART/CAN-FD), short-range wireless (BLE 5.x, IEEE 802.15.4/Thread), body-centric options (UWB for ranging, capacitive human-body links), and backhaul (LoRaWAN, NB-IoT/LTE-M). We map core requirements—range, latency/jitter, reliability, energy per bit, security/privacy, comfort, and washability—to protocol and topology choices. RF topics include textile/embroidered antennas, fabric transmission lines, impedance control, and SAR. A compact link-budget method models on-body loss and duty cycling for early feasibility and battery-life estimates. We define a reproducible test regimen (throughput, latency, packet-error rate, energy profiling, and S-parameter stability under bend/stretch/laundering). Four garment-level case studies illustrate sensor-to-cloud integration trade-offs. The chapter concludes with checklists for resilient interconnects, secure OTA updates, and on-garment TinyML.
