March 2008 doc. : IEEE 802. 15 -08 -0165 -00 -0006 Non-Medical Applications for BANs NICT, Japan Submission Slide 2 Marco Hernandez, NICT

March 2008 doc. : IEEE 802. 15 -08 -0165 -00 -0006 Aim • The primary and main objective of BANs is for medical applications. • Although, non-medical applications (adds-on) might be appealing for consumer electronics. Submission Slide 3 Marco Hernandez, NICT

March 2008 doc. : IEEE 802. 15 -08 -0165 -00 -0006 Requirements • BANs for medical applications impact the PHY/MAC design: – BANs have to be highly: reliable (robust), Qo. S, secure (integrated); short range, scalable data rate, long lifetime, low risk of human tissue heating. – The last two impose severe constrains in power consumption (processing, radiation/absorption). Submission Slide 4 Marco Hernandez, NICT

March 2008 doc. : IEEE 802. 15 -08 -0165 -00 -0006 Requirements • The efforts of this TG are towards best design/trade-offs and specifications. • On the other hand, relaxing some requirements might lead to non-medical applications, which can represent an attractive market. Submission Slide 5 Marco Hernandez, NICT

March 2008 doc. : IEEE 802. 15 -08 -0165 -00 -0006 Requirements • In order to avoid conflicts, we need to think of applications-coexistence into the standard (even if they have different requirements). • A possibility can be 2 modes operation BAN (medical and non-medical), one highly reliable, other one less highly reliable. Submission Slide 6 Marco Hernandez, NICT

March 2008 doc. : IEEE 802. 15 -08 -0165 -00 -0006 2 modes operation • Non-medical mode: relaxing dependability in terms of Qo. S and reliability; protocol stack, power consumption. • But keeping limits on power emission and absorption and compatibility with medical mode. Submission Slide 7 Marco Hernandez, NICT

March 2008 doc. : IEEE 802. 15 -08 -0165 -00 -0006 2 modes operation • For medical and non-medical applications, PHY/MAC should allow scalability in terms of data rate, sensors in a BAN (number and type), and integration/coexistence with other networks, while keeping limits on power emissions and radiation. Submission Slide 8 Marco Hernandez, NICT

March 2008 doc. : IEEE 802. 15 -08 -0165 -00 -0006 Non-medical BAN • It ranges from novel solutions to the merging/integration of known solutions in order to increase convenience and to offer improvements. Submission Slide 9 Marco Hernandez, NICT

March 2008 doc. : IEEE 802. 15 -08 -0165 -00 -0006 Some examples: Sports • Professional: – Athletes monitoring during training and races (cycling, marathon, track and field). • Extreme sports: – climbing, scuba diving safety (novel). • Regular practice: – Training monitoring. Submission Slide 10 Marco Hernandez, NICT

March 2008 doc. : IEEE 802. 15 -08 -0165 -00 -0006 Diet/exercise monitoring • Regular practice: – Tracking fitness and wellness through data mining (overweight) (novel). – Aim to improve quality of life. Submission Slide 11 Marco Hernandez, NICT

March 2008 doc. : IEEE 802. 15 -08 -0165 -00 -0006 Residential • Restrict access: – BAN users can transmit password, authentication (biometrics) to access buildings, home, car, etc. • Commanding – by voice/movements for lighting, hitting, remote control for TV/DVD/stereo. Submission Slide 12 Marco Hernandez, NICT

March 2008 doc. : IEEE 802. 15 -08 -0165 -00 -0006 Residential • Babies (new born) monitoring. • Known solutions are provided by different entities. BANs would resume all into 1 standard increasing convenience for consumers. Submission Slide 13 Marco Hernandez, NICT

March 2008 doc. : IEEE 802. 15 -08 -0165 -00 -0006 Gaming • Movement analysis and monitoring Wiilike (broad variety of games). • BANs would increase convenience for consumers – As 1 BAN would be use for many applications. Submission Slide 14 Marco Hernandez, NICT

March 2008 doc. : IEEE 802. 15 -08 -0165 -00 -0006 Transportation • Electronic fare management in public transportation. • Video on demand to special glasses (commuters). • Pedestrian navigation, location – Mind-machine-interface for disable people (blind). Submission Slide 15 Marco Hernandez, NICT

March 2008 doc. : IEEE 802. 15 -08 -0165 -00 -0006 Working place • Restrict access to buildings, work offices, labs. • Industrial control: – automatic identification, data capture. – assets management, process control. Submission Slide 16 Marco Hernandez, NICT

March 2008 doc. : IEEE 802. 15 -08 -0165 -00 -0006 Preliminary conclusions • BANs might interact with other networks in close proximity. • Integration with other networks 3 G/4 G, internet, WSN, broadens the possibility of non-medical applications. Submission Slide 17 Marco Hernandez, NICT

March 2008 doc. : IEEE 802. 15 -08 -0165 -00 -0006 Preliminary conclusions • Coexistence between medical and nonmedical applications. • Possible solution: 2 modes operation. • One mode highly reliable BAN another one less highly reliable BAN. • Non-medical BAN, certainly appealing to consumer electronics.
