Title Smart Body Area Network (SmartBAN); Optical Wireless Communications for Body Area Networks; Infrared, visible and ultraviolet light spectrum
Optical Wireless Communications for BANs 
Scope and Field
of Application
Recently, the concept of Body Area Networks has been expanded to include in-body communications, leading to the definition of four distinct communication areas: in-body, in-to-on body, on-body, and on-to-off body communications. VLC technology plays a crucial role in these areas. For instance, within the human body, VLC can address the issue of radio frequency absorption and prevent electromagnetic interference among implantable devices. Between wearable and subcutaneous implantable devices, VLC can ensure secure P2P communications with high data rate. In scenarios where high security is required, such as when handling sensitive data and/or in environments where electromagnetic waves may interfere with other devices, VLC proves to be invaluable.
