Performance Assessment of IR-UWB Body Area Network (BAN) based on IEEE 802.15.6 Standard
Résumé
Performance of impulse radio-based ultra-wideband (IR-UWB) communications in wireless body area networks are investigated using the dedicated IEEE 802.15.6 standard. An IR-UWB transceiver system is implemented for both on-off keying and differential binary phase-shift keying modulations. Bit error rates are determined from measurements for different on-body links with different data rates. It is shown that that using a 25 dB-gain LNA at the receiver, reaching an uncoded BER of 10-3 was not possible for some links operating at higher data rates. Power and energy consumption issues are then addressed and results in terms of required pJ/bit to achieve a certain quality of communication are given and discussed.
