      abstract = {This book explores the design of ultra wideband (UWB)  technology for wireless body-area networks (WBAN). The  authors describe a novel implementation of WBAN sensor  nodes that use UWB for data transmission and narrow band  for data reception, enabling low power sensor nodes, with  high data rate capability. The discussion also includes  power efficient, medium access control (MAC) protocol  design for UWB based WBAN applications and the authors  present a MAC protocol in which a guaranteed delivery  mechanism is utilized to transfer data with high priority.  Readers will also benefit from this books feasibility  analysis of the UWB technology for human implant  applications through the study of electromagnetic and  thermal power absorption of human tissue that is exposed to  UWB signals. Describes hardware platform development for  IR-UWB based WBAN communication; Discusses power efficient  medium access control (MAC) protocol design for IR-UWB  based WBAN applications; Includes feasibility analysis of  the UWB technology for human implant applications through  study of electromagnetic and thermal effects caused by UWB  signals; Includes implementation and experimental  evaluation of a UWB MAC protocol in hardware platforms.},
