Abstract :
In this paper we present a detailed example of a wireless body area network (WBAN) scenario utilizing the recent IEEE802.15.6 standard as applied to a multi-accelerometer system for monitoring Parkinson´s disease and fall detection. Ultra wideband physical layer and standard security protocols are applied to meet application requirements for data rate and security.
