Abstract
This paper describes proposed core technologies in physical (PHY) and Medica-Access-Control (MAC) layers to recognize dynamic environment of coexisting multiple Ultra-Wide Band (UWB) wireless Body Area Network (BAN) into a new revision standard IEEE802.15.6ma for dependable BAN. Since an individual BAN is used to be independently operated in practical use cases, recognition of overlaid communication coverage ranges and contentions among packets due to geographical overlay of coexisting BANs are important. We have proposed schemes of communication and ranging between coordinators or hubs of neighboring multiple BANs in the revision standard IEEE802.15.6ma to perform stable synchronization and avoid contention among coexisting multiple UWB-BANs. This paper describes coordinator-to-coordinator (C2C) communication and ranging schemes in PHY and successive procedure in MAC in IEEE802.15.6ma. Their system performance of these cross-layer technologies is investigated in typical channel and environmental models.
