Abstract :
Body Area Networks (BAN) is an emerging area in the field of wireless communication and remote health monitoring. An important concern in BANs is the interference from existing wireless networks. In the year 2002 a 50 MHz spectrum was proposed for IEEE 802.11y from 4940MHz to 4990MHz for WLAN channels 20 to 26 which is a potential interferer for BANs. The paper suggests the modified Hermite pulses for narrowband interference suppression and investigates the performance in the presence of strong narrowband interference. The method can be easily extended to other systems and bands too.
