An advanced plug-and-play network architecture for wireless body area network using HBC, Zigbee and NFC

This paper presents an advanced network system for Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) using different types of transmission media and wireless technologies to satisfy the needs of WBAN. Based on current research and surveys, this network architecture constitutes an innovative plug and play sensor network for WBAN by using Human Body Communication (HBC), Zigbee and Near Field Communication (NFC).
