2. Agenda • Background • Technical Issues • Usage Scenarios & Target Specs Qualcomm

3. Motivation for Body Area Networks • Average user carries many devices • Wide range of applications • Devices do not work as a unified system to provide a “Connected User” experience • The portable/mobile nature of these devices/applications requires very low power Qualcomm

4. Motivation for Low Power • Treo 600 • Phone conversation ~700mW Mobile Phone • iPod Nano • Playing music ~100mW (Display off) Music Players • Jabra BT 800 • 3.7v 140mAh, 6 hr talk • Call/conversation ~90mW / Standby ~40mW Headsets BAN Power Target • Motorola HS 810 • 3.6v 150mAh,5 hr talk • Call conversation ~110mW / Standby ~25mW • Philips Digital Hearing Aid • 1.1v, 35mm^2 in 0.8um process • 2mW avg power consumption Hearing Aid • Timex Datlink USB Watch • 2 yr battery life (1.55v 80mAh) ~6.8uW avg Watches • MS SPOT chipset radio for watches • 90mW during operation / 30uW standby • Additional ARM core 27.6MHz, 1.8mW/MHz -> 50mW Qualcomm

5. BAN Technology Positioning Power UWB High Opportunity for BAN 2.0/EDR Path Bluetooth Zigbee Low BAN Throughput Data Voice Audio Video Conceptual / qualitative description. Not to scale. Qualcomm

6. Key Technical Issues • Power • Low average and peak power (<< 100’s of mW) • 1’s of mW @ 1Mbps • 10’s of mW @ 10Mbps • Duty cycling • Flexible & efficient sleep modes • Fast set-up time • Battery life • Minimum impact to portable device battery life • Long standby times for sensors, headsets, headphones • Scalable data rates • Low data rate sensor telemetry (10’s kbps) • Media streaming (up to 10 Mbps) • Scalable network • Peer-to-peer network topology with no central coordinator • Automatic node detection, network configuration and service discovery • Simultaneous users and applications • Support for multicast • Spectrum • Global unlicensed footprint • Small antenna design Qualcomm

7. Personal/Distributed UI Use Cases • Secondary display for portable devices • Watch display: • Incoming calls • Playlists / media info • Secondary keypad/keyboard • Simultaneous display/UI and: • Audio/Media streaming • Voice • Sensor data acquisition • Control • Separate data channel for volume control and media player controls Qualcomm

8. Sensor Use Cases – Data/Telemetry • Device discovery • Programmable, proximity-based pairing • Programmable, proximity-based data transfer and security • Multiple simultaneous sensors • Multiple sensors/user • Multiple user in the vicinity • Dual-mode support • “Raw” waveform (processing on receiving device) • Digitized data (processing on sensor/transmitter) • Data acquisition reliability • Store & forward, multihop • Temporary storage on intermediate device • Simultaneous data and audio/voice use • Independent channel management for multiple access • Fitness application example • Sensor data acquisition + audio playback Heart Rate Display Speed/Activity Qualcomm

9. Audio Use Cases - Headphones • Device discovery • Programmable, proximity-based pairing • Low setup latency for fast connection • Single headphone • One-way streaming audio • Multiple headphone • Simultaneous users in the vicinity • Support multicasting for music sharing • Flexible configurations • Star or P2P topologies • Multi-hop capability • QoS for high quality audio • Controls • Separate data channel for volume and media player controls Qualcomm
