Wireless access monitoring and control system based on intrabody communication

Abstract

The paper investigates the wireless body area networks (WBANs) and proposes a novel wireless monitoring and access control system based on BodyCom technology. Authentication methods were analysed. Besides, WBANs and standard IEEE 802.15.6 were considered. This paper presents a prototype of the proposed system and shows a scheme for the implementation. Digital door access control is an electronic locking system operated by a digital key. An electromechanical lock control unit has been designed for this purpose. In addition, a special microcontroller module was designed. The system has a flexible functionality. It can be used both as a home security system and company security systems. The product will be useful for monitoring and access control systems implementation.
