Abstract

Wearable networks are ubiquitous and they form the backbone of today’s fast-growing smart wearable industry. The wireless nature of these networks coupled with smaller but sophisticated nodes offer the possibility of a wide array of innovative and advanced applications. This paper gives an overview of the concepts of wearable networks and their characteristics. Requirements for optimal application of these networks for various systems are also presented. Key enabling technologies for implementing wearable networks are discussed and compared.
