Abstract
Nowadays Intra Body Area Networks (I-BAN) are still a scarcely explored area because of the difficulties and risks in successfully propagating signals inside the body where sensor devices employing RF waves cannot be used. In this demo we will prove the feasibility of setting up an ultrasonic I-BAN employing non ionizing radiations to perform multihop communications. We will identify critical features for the propagation and show that intra-body networking is possible.
