INITIATION AND VERIFICATION FOR A BODY AREA NETWORK

摘要

A device and a method provide for transmitting, via a communication interface operating in a low frequency body area network (BAN) communication mode, a low frequency, on-body signal to another device; determining whether to continue a BAN communication with the other device based on whether an on-body BAN signal is received from the other device that is responsive to the low frequency, on-body signal; and switching the communication interface to a high frequency BAN communication mode based on a determination that the on-body BAN signal is received, wherein the high frequency BAN communication mode configures the communication interface to transmit and receive an on-body signal within a frequency band different from a frequency band of the low frequency BAN communication mode.
