沿着嵌入式计算领域的最新发展，诸如可穿戴和可植入生物传感器的无线通信技术的进步使得能够设计、开发和实现体域网。这类网络为部署创新的医疗监控应用铺平了道路。在过去的几年里，在体域网领域的研究主要集中在无线传感器设计，传感器小型化，低功耗传感器电路，信号处理和通信协议相关的问题。在本文中，我们提出了一个概述体域网，并讨论了BAN通信类型及其相关问题。我们提供了一个详细的调查传感器设备，物理层，数据链路层，和无线电技术方面的BAN研究。我们还提出了一个分类的BAN项目，已推出/提出的日期。最后，我们强调了一些设计挑战和开放的问题，仍然需要解决，使BAN真正无处不在的广泛的应用。
Advances in wireless communication technologies, such as wearable and implantable biosensors, along with recent developments in the embedded computing area are enabling the design, development, and implementation of body area networks. This class of networks is paving the way for the deployment of innovative healthcare monitoring applications. In the past few years, much of the research in the area of body area networks has focused on issues related to wireless sensor designs, sensor miniaturization, low-power sensor circuitry, signal processing, and communications protocols. In this paper, we present an overview of body area networks, and a discussion of BAN communications types and their related issues. We provide a detailed investigation of sensor devices, physical layer, data link layer, and radio technology aspects of BAN research. We also present a taxonomy of BAN projects that have been introduced/proposed to date. Finally, we highlight some of the design challenges and open issues that still need to be addressed to make BANs truly ubiquitous for a wide range of applications.
