Support for quality of service (QoS), extremely low power, and data rates up to 10 Mbps is required while simultaneously complying with strict non-interference guidelines where needed.
This standard considers effects on portable antennas due to the presence of a person (varying with male, female, skinny, heavy, etc.
), radiation pattern shaping to minimize the specific absorption rate (SAR) into the body, and changes in characteristics as a result of the user motions.
[1] This standard aims to provide the confidentiality, authentication, integrity, privacy protection, and replay defense.
[2] There are some interesting proposals in the published academic literature which resolve the security and privacy problems of the current security association procedures of IEEE 802.15.6 in a suitable manner, however, the fact that such proposals have yet not being included with in the standard by IEEE is incomprehensible.
