SPECIAL ISSUE ON

Ubiquitous Body Sensor Networks

http://www.springer.com/engineering/signals/journal/11036

Overview

Recently, there has been a lot of increasing investigation on a new type of wireless sensor network, which is generally known

as body sensor networks (BSNs). Following the continuous advances in wireless communications technologies, there is a

growing interest in the design and development of BSNs systems for applications of improving people’s daily life, which

leads to an increasing demand on interconnecting BSNs with other emerging wireless technologies, such as RFID technology,

wireless sensor networks (WSNs), Zigbee, Bluetooth, WiBree, video surveillance system, WPAN, WLAN, internet, and

cellular network. With BSNs being incorporated into these technologies, BSNs become ubiquitous. The marketing

opportunities for advanced consumer electronics and services will be expanded extensively. More and more autonomous and

intelligent applications which are close to human’s life will be generated. For example, by using body sensors to collect

patient information, and by deploying diverse wireless networking systems for enhanced diagnosis assistance and action

handling, better E-healthcare management system can be designed for providing more desirable services, which implies huge

market yet to be discovered, due to an increasing demand of E-healthcare management system in recent years.

In this special issue, we solicit research papers on body sensor hardware, system architectures, networking & communication

protocols, applications, test-bed and prototype, biomedical sensor data processing and management. Especially, we are

interested in the following communication issues:

*Intra-BSN Communication: The terminology of “intra-BSN communication
