Sinopsis
In recent years, the proliferation of mobile computing devices (e. g., laptops, handheld digital devices, personal digital assistants [P DAs], and wearable computers) has driven a revolutionary change in the computing world. As shown in Fig. 1.1, we are moving from the Personal Computer (PC) age (i.e., one computing device per person ) to the Ubiquitous Computing age in which individual users utilize, at the same time, several electroni c platforms through which they can access all the required information whenever and wherever they may be [47]. The nature of ubiquitous devices makes wireless networks the easiest solution for their inte rconnection. This has led to rapid growth in the use of wireless technologies for the Local Area Network (LAN) environment. Beyond supporting wireless connectivity for fixed, portable, and moving statio ns within a local area, wireless LAN (WLAN) technologies can provide a mobile and ubiquitous connection to Internet information services [10]. It is foreseeable that in the notso- distant future, WLAN technologies will be utilized largely as means to access the Internet.
WLAN products consum e too much power and have excessive range for many personal consumer electronic and computer devices [40]. A new class of networks is therefore emerging: Personal Area Networks. A Personal Area N etwork (PAN) allows the proximal devices to dynamically share information with minimum power consumption [49]. LANs and PANs do not m eet all the networking requirements of ubiquitous computing. Situations exist where carrying and ho lding a computer are not practical (e.g., assembly line work). A wearable computer solves these prob lems by distributing computer components (e.g., head-mounted displays, microphones, earphones, processors, and mass storage) on the body [21,49]. Users can thus receive jobcritical information and mai ntain control of their devices while their hands remain free for other work. A network with a transmission range of a human body, i.e., a Body Area Network (BAN), constitutes the best solution for connecting wearable devices. Wireless connectivity is envisaged as a natural solution for BANs.
