IEEE 802.15.6 WBAN

[thepassion...@gmail.com]

Hello,

NS3 has no support for WBAN , anyone working on IEEE 802.15.6 implementation?

[yuchen zhang]

did you found the models about 802.15.6

[Jack Higgins]

A little late for a reply but in case you are still interested:
We are working on an implementation of IEEE 802.15.6 (WBAN) on ns-3.
The code is not publically available yet but will be in about 1 or 2 months 

when the paper review is completed.

Dear Higgins,

Could you please let me know if the code is ready?

[Jack Higgins]

The code is in beta phase.
Experiments work as intended and we are doing some code cleaning and adding examples.

We will make it publicly available after publication is approved (Currently it is under review for a conference).

When ready, it will be posted to the ns-3 app store (https://apps.nsnam.org/). Stay tuned.

Dear Higgins,

is the code for IEEE 802.15.6 is ready?

[Jack Higgins]

I will contact the student in charge of the project, and get back at you ASAP.

Regards, 

Al.

We are working on cleaning up the code for IEEE 802.15.6 (WBAN) on ns3. My current plan is to post the code directly on the ns3 App Store by the end of September. Our paper was recently accepted for presentation so we are working on the final details. Thank you for your patience and interest in our work, I will also update here as soon as the code is up in the App store.

The code for IEEE 802.15.6: Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN)  is available on the ns3 App Store:  https://apps.nsnam.org/app/wban/ 
This module describes the implementation of the WBAN PHY layer in accordance with the standard specifications. It also includes the BodyPropagationLossModel, which calculates path loss and evaluates the interference caused by the presence of a human body within the network. Please refer to the documentation for installation and implementation details of the WBAN PHY and propagation loss model.
