Abstract :
A Body Sensor Network (BSN) application requires many software and hardware adaptations to support correctly data exchanges between different sensor node architectures. However, these customizations demand extra time, cost and components. This paper introduces a simple development process in order to customize off-the-shelf BSN sensor nodes according to Transducer Bus Interface Modules (TBIM) standard. IEEE 1451.3 offers technical solutions for interfacing multiple and physically separated transducer allowing self-identification, self-configuration, plug and play and hot swapping capabilities. These are important requirements relating to most BSN applications.
