Abstract
Body Area Networks (BAN) which consist of RF-enabled wearable and implantable sensory nodes are poised to be a promising interdisciplinary technology with novel uses in pervasive healthcare, personal entertainment and consumer electronics. The papers which appear in this special issue have been carefully selected from the best IEEE PIMRC 2009 conference papers addressing some of the most challenging issues in BAN such as propagation modeling, physical, and medium access control layers. Papers presented here propose models, algorithms and protocols exhibiting advance research in this promising field.
