Public hardware design for collecting data now online

The hardware design has been used in a number of measurement campaigns to evaluate performance of body-area-networks on and around the human body.

Details of the set-up and the PCB layout are available from the NICTA project page. We expect that as the standardization process moves forward, there will be a need to also standardize the measurement and modeling approaches used. Public hardware and data sets are an important part of this process.

Update on the IEEE Body-Area-Networks standard

The Body-Area-Network standard IEEE 802.15.6 has moved a step closer to completion. The four draft documents have now combined into a single draft standard. This draft will be discussed at the upcoming meeting in May.
