Abstract

We propose a WBAN system which supports scalable data-rate modes and is based on the IR-UWB technique. Two modulation schemes are proposed; an alternated PPMscheme and a group PPM scheme. We introduce the alternated PPM by reconfguring an IEEE 802.15.4a system. And, we propose an group PPM modulation scheme which represents a new modulation method to IR-UWB radio architecture and can meet the BAN. This algorithm increases entropy and can increase data-rate. Lastly, we simulate two systems in WBAN channel, and compare with technical requirement, and also analyze both the systems by calculating a link budget.
