IEEE 802.15.6-2012 IEEE Standard for Local and metropolitan area networks - Part 15.6: Wireless Body Area Networks

IEEE 802.15.6-2012 Стандарт IEEE для локальных и городских сетей - Часть 15.6: Беспроводные тела Area Networks

This is a standard for short-range, wireless communication in the vicinity of, or inside, a human body (but not limited to humans). It uses existing industrial scientific medical (ISM) bands as well as frequency bands approved by national medical and/or regulatory authorities. Support for quality of service (QoS), extremely low power, and data rates up to 10 Mbps is required while simultaneously complying with strict noninterference guidelines where needed. This standard considers effects on portable antennas due to the presence of a person (varying with male, female, skinny, heavy, etc.), radiation pattern shaping to minimize specific absorption rate (SAR) into the body, and changes in characteristics as a result of the user motions.
