N2 - Remote monitoring systems employing a Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) require a capable and efficient connectivity between the WBAN and other system components overseeing personal and autonomous monitoring and processing of the gathered data. The requirements for remote monitoring applications, however, challenge existing connectivity technologies. Towards this end, the characteristics of the next generation wireless broadband systems meeting the requirements of ITU's IMT-Advanced systems seem promising. The objective of this article is to review how IMT-Advanced systems will accommodate the requirements for remote monitoring applications, together with the technologies facilitating this accommodation.
