This article presents an updated survey on research related to Ultra Wideband (UWB) communications, particularly that of impulse radio (IR) technology. In addition to the research, we survey UWB physical layer (PHY) specifications of the two existing standardsthe IEEE 802.15.6-2012 and the IEEE 802.15.4-2015 -as well as the leading global UWB spectrum regulatory limitations which have been updated recently. The latter standard including the UWB specifications was first published in 2007 and the latest revision dates to 2015. The focus in this article is the period from 2007 to 2015. Our purpose is to provide an in-depth survey with a clearly specified topic together with the standard specifications and the related regulatory restrictions. Additionally, the last part of the article discusses the possibilities of increasing the current IR-UWB data rates to meet increasing future demands.

“…UWB wireless devices have been used efficiently for simultaneous monitoring of many continuous physiological signals such as EEG, ECG and EMG [57,58], detecting neural signals for brain-computer interfaces because of its high data rate capability [59], and capturing videos from the gastrointestinal tract via ingestible wireless capsules [60]. Unlike narrowband technologies, UWB can support scalable data rates in a single node.…”

Body sensor networks (BSN) have emerged as an active field of research to connect and operate sensors within, on or at close proximity to the human body. BSN have unique roles in health applications, particularly to support real-time decision making and therapeutic treatments. Nevertheless, challenges remain in designing BSN nodes with antennas that operate efficiently around, ingested or implanted inside the human body, as well as new methods to process the heterogeneous and growing amount of data on-node and in a distributed system for optimized performance and power consumption. As the battery operating time and sensor size are two important factors in determining the usability of BSN nodes, ultralow power transceivers, energy-aware network protocol, data compression, on-node processing, and energy-harvesting techniques are highly demanded to ultimately achieve a self-powered BSN.

“…Typical data rate requirements for common onbody medical sensing devices are given in [3]; electromyography (EMG) sensing is the most throughput-demanding application (up to 1500 kbps). However, it is important to note that continuous EMG monitoring is not necessary as is the case of electrocardiogram (ECG) and electroencephalogram (EEG) that require 10-100 kbps and 10-200 kbps, respectively.…”

“…This makes them difficult to detect and robust against jamming, potentially rescinding the need for complex encryption algorithms in tiny transceivers. Owing to these characteristics, UWB has emerged as a solution for the radio communication interface in medical wireless body area networks (WBANs) [3]. Additionally, UWB signals do not cause significant interference to other systems operating in the vicinity and do not represent a threat to patients' safety [4].…”

The utilization of wireless technology in traditional medical services provides patients with enhanced mobility. This has a positive effect on the recovery speed of a person after major surgical procedures or prolonged illness. Ultrawideband (UWB) radio signals have inherent characteristics that make them highly suitable for less invasive medical applications. This paper surveys our own and related recent research on UWB technology for medical sensing and communications. Some research perspectives in the aforementioned topics are suggested too.
