Abstract

Medical ultrawideband (UWB) wireless sensor networks (WSNs) in which chaotic radio pulses serve as data carriers are proposed. Several components of the UWB WSN are produced, fragments of networks with different topologies are constructed and experimental accumulation of medical data is performed for validation of the proposed approach and comparison of the physical properties and theoretical estimations.
