An Infrastructure for Automated BAN Experimentation

We demonstrate an infrastructure for experimenting with Body Area Network (BAN) communication protocols and applications without the involvement of human test-person. The core of our infrastructure consists of a mobile robot, on which a simplistic human structure equipped with BAN nodes is located. This set-up can emulate human movements within a controlled RF interference in-door environment. Both, the robot movements and the RF environment, can be remotely controlled via standard Internet access. As a representative usage example, we compare different frequency selection schemes for BAN communication.
