IEEE Access Special Section Editorial: Body Area Networks For Interdisciplinary Research

Recent advancements in integrated circuits, wireless communication, and MicroElectroMechanical Systems (MEMS) technology has enabled low power, nano-technology wireless sensor nodes strategically deployed on the human body to be used by different applications, such as health monitoring, assisted living, and telemedicine. This new area of research is known as Body Area Networks (BANs) [1], [2]. ...

IEEE Access Special Section Editorial: Index Modulation Techniques for Next-Generation Wireless Networks

Index modulation (IM) techniques appear as competitive candidates for next-generation (5G and beyond) wireless networks due to the attractive advantages they offer in terms of spectral and energy efficiency as well as hardware simplicity. IM is a highly spectrumand energyefficient yet simple digital modulation technique, which utilizes the indices of the building blocks of the corresponding com...

Wireless Body Area Networks Medium Access Control ( MAC ) : IEEE 802

With recent advances in wireless networking, Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs) became practically feasible. Body Area Networks are defined by the IEEE 802.15.6 standard. However, IEEE 802.15.4 MAC can also be used for WBANs as it is cheap and simple. This paper presents a study about the standards IEEE 802.15.4 and IEEE 802.15.6. In this paper, both IEEE 802.15.4 and IEEE 802.15.6 are explain...
