IEEE P802.15.6

Annotation of standard text IEEE P802.15.6 :

Revision Standard - Active - Draft.
Short-range, wireless communications in the vicinity of, or inside, a human body (but not limited to humans) are specified in this standard. It uses existing industrial scientific medical (ISM) bands as well as frequency bands approved by national medical and/or regulatory authorities. Support for quality o service (QoS), extremely low power, and data rates up to 50 Mbps is required while simultaneously complying with strict non-interference guidelines where needed. This standard considers effect ts on portable antennas due to the presence of a person (varying with male, female, skinny, heavy, etc.), radiation pattern shaping to minimize the specific absorption rate (SAR) into the body, and changes in characteristics as a result of the user motions.
