Abstract
Wireless body area network(BAN) has been researched and developed for ubiquitous and remote medicine and its international standard IEEE802.15.6 was established in February, 2012. Highly reliable and secure, i.e. dependable BAN can be applicable to a body of cars, buildings as well as a human body for dependable machine to machine (M2M) sensing and controlling. Such a M2M network can be called as "BAN of Things" like Internet of Things (IoT). To perform dependability of BAN, antenna and other radio technologies in physical layer must be jointly optimized with MAC, Network, and application layers. Even after BAN has been developed and standardized in global, regulatory science must be keen to guarantee safety, reliability and security to be compliant for regulation. This talk will introduce concept and possible manners of dependability in wireless BAN for medical healthcare, energy follow control, car controlling harness etc, i.e. Dependable BAN of Things.
