Abstract :
This paper presents the architecture of a complete communications platform for biosensor-based applications in the domain of sleep disorders. It covers from the direct communication with the sensors themselves to the most remote application modules. It has been divided into three levels: BAN (body area network), LAN (local area network) and WAN (wide area network), and it uses wireless communications at all levels of the architecture
